Why is my mother cat attacking her kittens? Is it aggression?

Question

Hi! So I just have a question, why does my mother cat (Pecko), is trying to attack her kittens? Is this some kind of cannibalism or this is just a hunting training? I'm totally confuse right now, thank you! Pet's info: Cat | Siamese | Female | unspayed

Some cats are poor mothers, and will attack their kittens. In cases like this, the kittens needs to be completely separated from the mother and the kittens needs to be hand reared. You need to get a kitten formula and bottles to feed them. I will put a link below on how to raise kittens. I would also have Pecko spayed. If she is attacking her kittens, she should not have another litter as she will likely do the same thing. I hope this helps! https://www.2ndchance.info/orphankitten.htm
