My cat rejects her kitten
My cat had only 1 kitten 10 months ago ( a boy ) She's a very small cat ( almost 5 years ) and the kitten has grown to quite a size now. He's a lot bigger than her. She was a great nursing mother. But now whenever he goes near her she growls and hisses at him. Then if he gets too close she will swipe at him. Is this normal? Also he will not go outside, of I put him out he just shakes and crys until I let him in, then he just hides. He is the size of a fully grown male cat. If anyone can help me with my two questions, I'd be very grateful.
