Hi, thanks for using petcoach! Poor Solaly! She have been scared by something and is not acting out towards her babies. If he babies are old enough, separate her from them for a few hours. Consider getting feliway spray or a diffuser. Spray the room she is in and around the babies. Also she could be going in to heat again. Also if she sees a feral cat outside she could be acting territorial or frighten. I would close the windows or get animal control out to remove the feral cats. I hope this helps and good luck! https://www.chewy.com/s?rh=brand_facet%3AFeliway&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI2tvOk4qg1gIVjB6GCh1NYgjBEAAYASAAEgKA-_D_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
