Re: First time mother drags her kittens around

Hi

my family have bred cats for years and we have one that does this - she just not very good at picking them up!!! she has never harmed one doing it like this and has had quite a few litters - also the go 'limp' and 'freeze' its a natural instinct - it makes them easier to carry / domanate - if you pick your cat up by the scuff of the neck it should also freeze - males also grab the female there when mating to stop them moving. hope this helps if your still worried keep an extra close eye on her - shes also prob a little fed up that shes running around after them now they can walk and wants to keep them in one area - its about 5-6 weeks when ours starts dragging them round - just when they really start to walk around..... hope all goes ok
