When a mother cat is about to drive her kittens away, she may refuse to let them nurse, or she may attack them while they are nursing.
In addition, mother cats often change their elimination habits after their kittens are born to avoid attracting predators with their scent. If a mother cat suddenly stops relieving herself near her kittens, it may be a sign that she is trying to drive them away. If the mother cat exhibits these behavioral changes, it is important to pay attention and take measures to ensure the kittens' safety.
