Today, one of my cats gave birth. My other cat responded by eating the new litter in a jealous rage, then got indigestion and vomited. I had to clean up regurgitated kittens. FML

Just to clarify a few things: my two adult cats (the mother and the baby-eater) are sisters. I had planned to have them both spayed a few months ago but the baby-eater was very unwell at the time, so I decided to postpone the spaying for both of them so that I could eventually get them both done at the same time. By the time the unwell cat had recovered the other had already snuck out of the house and fallen pregnant, so I resigned myself to letting her have the kittens and then taking them both to be fixed. That's how this situation happened. To those questioning whether I was aware of the potential danger, yes I was, but the mother cat is usually dominant to her sister and intimidates her a lot, so I assumed she'd chase her away if she tried to go near the newborns. Instead she seemed indifferent to the situation and simply stood by while her sister killed the litter. As for why I did not intervene, I was not in the room at the time. I entered the room and saw the cat had given birth, then exited the room to go and fetch her some extra food and water. When I returned I found the sister in the room with blood around her mouth, half a leg on the floor, and the mother sitting off to one side washing herself. As I stared at the scene in a mixture of surprise and revulsion, the killer began coughing violently then vomited. So that's how you came to read about this event. As for those suggesting I should punish the killer in some way, I am not going to. She was just acting on instinct, like all non-human animals do. And I think that's all I have to say for now. Sorry for the long comment.

If you've never eaten someone you were jealous of, you're not truly living.

YDI for not keeping an eye on them. If you had done a minimum of research while your cat was pregnant you would have known this could happen and that you should have kept them separated.

Maybe op didn't want them altered. A few years ago we adopted two kittens a boy and a girl. The girl got pregnant because we didnt think to seperate them, and the kittens didnt make it so she ate them and so did the others. It's a fact of life.

If a person can't afford to spay or neuter their pets, then they can't afford to own an animal. Period. When I worked at a vet, nothing pissed me off more than seeing owners come in with animals covered in fleas or ticks, animals who were horribly sick, or animals who were bleeding out because they had given birth too many times in their lives...only to have the owners say the reason they haven't done anything to prevent these things from happening is because they can't afford it.

Animal abuse. I'm no PETA, but you should've watched the kittens a little more closely.

You should know that, male cats in particular, eat or rip the heads off any kittens, wether they are jealous or not because of the female or territory. You should have known before your cat had the kittens, and you should have separated them. Ignorance is no excuse and it's not the cat's fault, it's instinctual for them.
