Why does my cat hate her kittens?

It is not uncommon for a mother cat to show aggression towards her kittens as they grow older. This behavior is often a natural instinct to encourage the kittens to become more independent and eventually leave the nest. The mother cat may also be feeling stressed or overwhelmed by the demands of caring for her kittens. It is important to monitor the situation and provide a safe and calm environment for both the mother cat and her kittens.
