Should I worry my cat will eat her kittens after giving birth?

Question

My cat is giving birth now I M just concerned about that would she eat her kittens or no? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed

It's not typical that cats eat their kittens, you would only see if the kitten was very sick or Rihana was a poor mother. Continue to monitor her, and if she does begin attacking all her kittens, then you will need to take them away from her and bottle feed them yourself. It's rare though, so I would not be overly concerned about this potentially happening.
