    mom cats will eat their babies if a human scent is on them(if someone touched them) but i have read that if the mom thinks something is wrong with? her kittens(sick) or something may happen to her kitten(male cat,other cat, or other animal may harm them) then they will eat them first. but i know for a fact cats will eat their kittens……Hope it helps.
