Hi I have a female Bengal. We had not gotten her neutered because I have been so I'll I have been in bed a lot and the cost is very expensive. I kept her inside but we suddenly noticed a few months ago she was getting outside. We had no idea how. She ended up getting pregnant and had 3 kittens that she had a difficult time delivering. The male cat that hangs around is a huge cat and she is tiny.
She was a good mom very protective and loving. We decided to keep 2 of the kittens because they were so loving and our cat has her own personality.
Lately she has started attacking and trying to kill her kittens. She will even jump on the bed and attack them while they are sleeping.
Recently she got out again. I brought her back in and she was outside again. So I decided to follow her. She had managed to open a window in the basement and rip open the screen.
I'm afraid she is pregnant again. Today she was attacking them and I yelled at her she then turned on me and attacked me.
What can I do to help her calm down?
On top of that I don't know if she can handle more kittens. Why is she so angry?

She may have gone into another heat!!! You have GOT to get her spayed! And these other two kittens you kept need to be fixed too. Check for lost-cost spaying in your area. A lot of animal organizations do it. You do not want to continue to have a house full of babies!!! Why she is attempting to "kill" the kittens as you say, this could be because she is in another heat. The fact that she is sneaking outside is a clue.

Your kitty really needs to be examined by a vet to make sure there are no underlying medical reasons for her behavior. Owning a cat is not cheap! It's more than just food and toys! They require medical care and they need to be fixed.

It's probably hormones from being in heat. Female cats will go into heat more frequently when it's warm outside as that is "breeding season". She may see the other kittens as a threat now and think she needs to chase them off her territory.

The best thing to do is to get them all fixed as soon as possible. Maybe you can find a vet that will work with you on the cost if you do them all at once - or find an organization that can help? I know our vet does a low cost spay/neuter day once a month and some of our local rescue organizations will hold low cost spay/neuter clinics to help people who can't afford it. It's worth checking around your area.

Thank you for your advise. We have always spade or neutered our animals. In Edmonton thereally are too many cats as it is. That has been the plan all along. She was about to go in to be spayed when the vet said she was pregnant was 3 kittens. I was very sick right after and could not get her in to have her fixed after they were born. She must have gotten pregnant within a week of her new kittens. I have an apot for all three including microchip ping next week. Hopefully she will calm down. Thank you Michelle

Unfortunately, females go into hit almost immediately after weaning the previous litter! So she's got more kittens growing in her now! Hopefully, you can get them ALL fixed just as soon as these are weaned, including the new babies!

Cats often go into hear while still nursing, even within a week of kittening.
The cat's biological goal is to produce as many offspring as possible. If your cat has been outside, she might easily be pregnant again already.

The cost of having to raise multiple kittens will surpass the one off charge of spaying her. If your too ill to take one cat to the vets you definitely need to get her spayed because raising this many kittens won't be an easy task! Can we see a picture of her? :)

I guess I just echo what everyone else has said. You need to spay her. All of these problems you are describing are a direct result of her hormones. She has no choice but to behave this way right now, its in her nature. Your life will be so much easier when you get her fixed x
