As far as her beating up the older male, there is a higher-archy to them, She is probably putting him ih his place, becuase a mother cat is over an older male the same way a health non-nuetered female is "over" a younger, nuetered male cat. Hope this helps.
: 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.
: 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.

: Hi I have a question that I do not know if it
: is answerable. My mother cat had kittens
: and now they are 4 weeks old. Well now she
: is trying to move them in the oddest
: places, right near the litter box, on the
: couch when people are on it, or she just
: drops them in the middle of the floor and
: walks away. She has 5 kittens and
: sometimes she just moves three of them and
: other times she moves all of them. I know
: mother cats usually move their kittens,
: but why the odd places and is there
: something I can do to make this stop
: happening. She has a very large box for
: her and them so its not like she is
: confined. Is she going thru something
: mentally? I ask this becasue she has been
: beating up my other male cat, when he has
: done nothing. Any help to these questions
: will be better then I am doing. Thank you
: so much for taking the time to read
