I have the same in my house with my pregnant and lactating Queens. The others seem to know they smell different and especially our neuter girl, she just attacks for no reason.
I always have my queens separated from 2 weeks before birth, just so they don't get any injuries/stressed ect. Then introduce the new family slowly when the kittens are about 4 weeks.

Can you not get a big dog crate then and cover it to make a den for her. Put her food/water, litter tray ect in. She really needs a safe haven. Plus the other cat if theres fighting now, could potentially kill the kittens.

Re: why does my cat keep fighting with my pregnant cat ?

Well the cat & kittens safety should come first really. You could put a padlock on the cage door. Children too, especially very young ones, don't understand and can do some damage to kittens.
I'm just saying because years ago, before I had my pedigrees, when my daughter was 2(she's 10 now) we had a heavily pregnant stray turn up, she had 5 kittens.I thought they were safe where i'd put them, but My daughter had gone in the room while I was in the kitchen and picked one up to cuddle and dropped it on the floor.....sadly it died it's so easily done, you can't watch kids 24/7
Thats why I did'nt start breeding til last year, she is the youngest, so at 10 is fine with kittens now

mum and kitts really need to be in a safe enclosed area,it simply wont work just having them anywhere,mum will probably cart them around everywhere,especially if she feels threatened by the other cat.And with young kids and other cats around and a clueless owner i doubt they will survive!

That's a little harsh.
I have two cats and they're not the best of friends but they have stayed out of one another's way - Zelda's nest is under my desk in a dog crate which I padded out for her.
My daughter who is nearly 2 - didn't even notice the kittens until the other day and at first ignored them - when she started to get a little too interested I moved the crate into an old travel cot. My son is nearly four and knows not to touch the kittens - I wouldn't leave him alone with them for long but he's much more interested in the computer.
Zelda hasn't once tried to move her kittens and does seem a really protective Mum.
You must do all you can to keep the kittens safe and away from children and other cats but if the cat is used to being in this environment she shouldn't feel too threatened.

Re: why does my cat keep fighting with my pregnant cat ?

Scarlett-ya pregnant gal needs to be seperate from other animals-the stress could make her reabsorb babies-even at this late stage and it doesn't bold well that she's already been under so much stress,know you didn't choose this situation but their must be a way around it,it could very well sort itself out but i doubt it and what will happen when kitts arrive?Maybe think about asking rspca or catprotection to take her in due to your current situation,not to be horrible but this gal and her unborns need to be a priority right now and unless you can do this for her practically and literally(know your heart is there)then you need to think hard about whats best for her and your other animalsClare-can't believe this but on this occasion i am sadly in agreement you!

She smells funny.

Keep her away - somehow. She has to be kept stressfree right now.
