True story. One of my employees cats gave birth while she was working. Her boyfriend arrived home first and upon noticing the cat, went to check out the kittens. Well apparently the cat, who was always friendly prior, went absolutely cujo. The guy was wearing shorts and the cat just attached to his legs and shredded him. Apparently he like booted the cat a few times but it just kept coming at him. He ended up locking himself in the bathroom and had to climb out a window. The cat actually nicked an artery in his leg and he was bleeding significantly. Had to go to emergency. Apparently the bathroom looked like a war zone from what I was told.
It's never a good idea to go near any animal that has just given birth. Since they were vulnerable for a time, they likely kick it up a notch, plus babies to protect. It's even a crapshoot if the bonded person can come close.
It depends. If the animal really trusts you and knows you well, they might be comforted by you being there. But if that's not the case, or if they show any negative signs, you need to give them space.
When I was a child our cat gave birth, and she kept crying for my mom whenever she tried to leave her side.
We had a cat that right after she gave birth, for the next two weeks she had a serious weird craving for sliced cucumber LOL! I mean seriously, she'd attack us for it while we were trying to slice it up for her.
After about two weeks, just as suddenly as her strange craving started, it almost just as suddenly stopped and she went back to only eating typical cat food like a normal kitty.
Holy frijoles. I can't put a good spin on that, other than... I wish Shittywatercolour (a random redditor artist) had painted a pleasant drawing for you instead of my comment here.
