Have you ever had a cat that rejected a kitten?

If you have had a cat that has had kittens or you know someone with a cat that has had kittens, you will know that sometimes a cat will reject a kitten and other times it does not happen and they accept all the kittens they gave birth to.

Have you ever had a cat that gave birth to kittens and rejected one or more? What did you do when that happened?

Unfortunately, it's something I wouldn't have to find out because my cat won't get pregnant and not to talk about giving birth to kitten.

I have my cat spayed, so they don't have to get pregnant. I've not considered getting a new kitten to know how they are going to react to it but I will soon find out.

For my cat, it wasn't all smooth and easy experience when I introduced a kitten to her when she was 3 years old. It was just so new to her and with how the kitten keeps getting clingy with her, she was almost acting worried. Within 3 weeks of having them together, she became used to her.

I've not had any kitten being rejected by my cat because they are usually very welcoming whenever I get a new cat to be a part of our family. I've always been very surprised how they all feel very comfortable around the new kitten even when the new kitten is being all over the places without allowing them their own space.

There are some parents who even reject their own babies, some who go to the extreme abort them without giving birth to them. I wouldn't be surprised if a cat rejected kittens that wasn't her own.
