Posted by Norm Wagner on June 5, 2003, 7:48 pm, in reply to "Mother Cat" I don't know if this is her first litter but sometimes they know they need to protect the kittens but aren't sure how. She gets confused and drops then anywhere. I'm sure she will be fine as the kittens get older.

I think this is fairly normal. She is probably trying to hide them to protect them. They become very protective which explains why she is attacking your other cats.
