    My cat had her kittens in the middle of the night
    I found my cats kittens this morning and they were still in the sac two of them were so small and not in the sac but the third was huge and in the sac and she started eating them. She keeps eating and then stopping. What should I do for her and what do I do with the dead kittens? :(

    I'm a little confused - you left the dead kittens where she can reach them and you are actually watching her start eating them and then stop and then start again and you want to know what to do - ?

    Let's see - you take the dead kittens away from her and dispose of them for starters.

    What you should do for her is take her to a Vet and have her spayed.

    I have noe money for a vet
    But I did take them away from her and bury them, but yes I couldn't get them away from her for some time because if me or my other cat got near her while she was eating them she would start growling, I'm just trying to figure out why she let them die and why she just wouldn't help them live. A mother cat should have theses instincts

    There are programs typically through shelters to have cats spayed/neutered at a discounted price. Maybe you should look into that. It sounds like your cat aborted her babies. It'll probably happen again if you don't step in.

    You have three options from this point on.

    1. you rehome her with someone who can, and will get her fixed.

    2. you keep her inside and away from all unfixed males until she IS fixed.

    3. you let her have the 3-5 litters of kittens an average cat can have in a year. She will continue to neglect and kill off most, of not all, of her babies. You will be faced with a cat that is constantly uncomfortable, in pain, and experiencing medical problems from being pregnant so often. Any surviving babies will have to either be adopted out or taken care of by you, leading to more food costs and even MORE kittens from having other unfixed cats around. Your cat will die unreasonably young from being pregnant so often, if she doesn't die while giving birth. You will be solely responsible for her death and the death of every single kitten that doesn't make it, along with being responsible for the lives of all her surviving kittens and THEIR kittens.

    Give up a few things for a couple months. Stop going out to eat, cut back on smoking and/or drinking, stop buying unnecessary junk food, refrain from making impulse purchases, cut back to buying JUST the basic essentials until you have enough saved up to get your kitty fixed.

    Get her spayed.

    When I was younger we had a cat that kept having kittens, she had her first litter (We found her when she was pregnant) and then we called the vet, he said to bring her in when she was done feeding them. So we did, turns out she was already pregnant! She was out for 5 minutes one day when my brother accidentally left the door open. The vet refused to give her an abortion (There was some reasoning I can't remember) anyway this went on over and over, she'd have kittens, they'd get weaned, BAM she was pregnant again. I recommend getting an animal spayed at 6 months just so no one else has to go through this.

    If you can't afford to get her spayed, give her away.

    Walk down an isle at your local pound or SPCA and remember you just contributed to that.
