What does a mother cat do when one of her kittens dies?

Asked by jonsblond (43668points) June 23rd, 2011

Our cat had kittens a week ago. They are in a barn.

Our daughter has been checking on them and noticed one of the kittens felt cold last night and was meowing differently than the others. I told her we would check on it in the morning. Now the kitten has disappeared.

How do I explain this to my daughter? Did the mother take it away somewhere? Did the father? Did a wild animal possibly take it?
