DEAD KITTEN

Aww my cat bella has had 4 kittens last Sunday and one has died today, which is very sad, I have removed the dead kitten, but I am now worrying if this was the right thing to do so quickly, or will the mum cat be okay about this, sorry if this sounds silly.

That's so sad :(
Hope other kittens are all right

So sorry for your bad news. But often the weakest of a litter does not make it.

In the wild, the mother cat would often eat the dead kitten. this is not as gross as it sounds - and makes perfect nutritional sense if you think about it.

She is simply reabsorbing the nutrients she provided to create the kitty.

Still it is always very sad.
