Will A Mother Cat Kill Her Newborn Kittens If You Touch Them?

Mother cat will not kill her kittens. My momma cat just gave birth 2 days ago and I was beside her, talking to her all through delivery. She was young so I wanted to make sure she knew she was okay.I didnt need to help her but after she had delivered I changed the towel in her bed and picked up her new bundles of joy. She was completely trusting and didnt mind at all. I have been holding them for a few minutes each day and she is quiet content. She hasn't eaten them

My cat has been with me since she started her pregnancy, so we got really close.  When she gave birth I had to help her, I don't believe she would hurt her new born's. I've touched them since they were born, 2 weeks ago.  And she has never rejected any one of them.  What I don't do is let anyone out side of the family touch them because I believe any mother wouldn't want a stranger touching their child!

Touching your mummy cats new babies should not cause you any trouble, provided it is your cat. Don't let others touch them if the mummy doesn't know them. I have had my mummy cat for just 6 months she was feral when we got her, and didn't trust anyone but I worked with her every day and when she fell pregnant she; tho sill quite wild and timid allowed me to help her not only when she was delivering,(she is a very small cat with very big babies) but continued to be ok with me picking them up and touching the , they are now 3 weeks old very friendly and definately not eaten. Hope all goes well with your mummy

No I have had many cats over the years, and have helped if needed when they gave birth I know they eat the afterbirth but definately not the kittens. As long as its your cat then there should not be a problem but after 3 weeks she may move them, as mine have done in the past.. ,Make sure she don't take them out the house, or you probably wont see them again

No she just had them and I held them and she did absolutly nothing but purred and layed down she is still nursing them all of them

No my cat had kittens 2 days ago in the bathroom she even lets my one year old in there to pet her with my help of course (I'm not brave enough 4 her 2 touch the lil ones yet) but I even had to help her during the delivery and she lets me pick them up as long as they done meow she doesnt even budge she has four wild ones

If you mother cat trusts you she probably wont care if you touch them. But make sure that they are several weeks old before you touch them. However if you are not that cose to your cat you may not want to touch them for she may not take care of them as she was before. But I dout that she will kill them.

Mother cat can't kill her newborn just let her busy her newborn kittens just watching make sure dad cat need keep away from them.

No, she will not kill or abandon them. I have a cat that has had lots of kittens and I touch them after shes done cleaning them, so I can no their  sexes.just make sure you wash your hands well that way they don't get any bacteria and get sick because remember there new Born's.

No, a mother cat will not eat their newborns if you touch them. My cat who I've had for about 4 years gave birth and I touched her kittens almost everyday for 6 weeks and she never rejected them or ate them or treated them any different. Me and my cat are very close though.

No they should be fine but a would not let any of the family touch them for at least a week or two.

I really doubt it . I have a cat that had kittens about 1 week ago and me and my cat are pretty close . I'm going to try to pick one up but if my cat seems mad ill put it down

A mother cat can not kill her kittens if touched, but she can move them from the present position to an other position by carrying them with their mouth. 

If you don't now the cat never touch the kittens btu they will be fine with you touch them if you r the owner and she trustu sometimewws they have problems giving birth and I have actually had to pull a few out and she was I think very happy about it
then I had a cat that couldnt have baby very inbreed so she would steal the other cats babies and try to raise them it was sad she so wanted to be a mother and so Ive always handled kittens and Ive owned to many cats in my life and have never hd a problem with handleing them but if you handle them 2 much you can tend 2 make them sick crusty eyes running noses stuff like like its best to leave them , zand aalone at least untill they start really moving around. And I mean like walking good

No she wont I have raised kittens for years and I have always touch the kittens the day they where born and my mother cats never killed their kittens.

No, she will not kill them. Cause I researched that if you touch a cat with clean hands. The mother won't care unless you come outside each day and pet the momma cat. If she lets you pet you. She will let you pet the kittens. I haven't pet them yet. But my grandpa said that to me.

I wouldnt touch them just in case. Its like if you go near a birds nest, the mother will never come back because she smelt human scent. Thats my opininon. I am going to do research. My mom was taking pics of my sister on a dirt road, and came back with 2 kittens who were stuck in a tree. Came home with us. Weird Huh?

Help, she dropped 5 kittens in my studio all over the room, they are crying and still have the placenta attached. I moved them all to one box but she seems not to be interested in any of them.

No, my neighborhood cat had kittens. We touch them all the time. They still feed ALL the time. My neighborhood has had 2 mother cats and everybody always touched the kittens. They did nothing about it.

No I touch my baby kittens everyday and they are alway there when I get home from school.

I used to care for wild baby birds at wild animals santuary about handling the nest and mother bird wont cme back because of human smell is false birds have poor sense of smell

I don't really think that she'll kill them but she might not treat them the same way after that. Just leave them with her for a little while.

No she shouldn't kill them but she might attack you!!

Unlike hamsters and Guineapig Queens do not kill they're young unless they have to!!
But keep in mind she will be a wee bit over protective at the start..

No but you shouldnt touch them for a while

No, but she might reject them

No
