stubby(my cat)  
Can the mother chew off the runt's back paw.i need your HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer
This may happen if the mother cat feels that their is something wrong with the leg. if she is trying to do that you will have to take the kitten to the vets to see what can be done about the leg and then you will have to remove your kitten from the litter and wean them yourself or at least supervise any times the kitten is feeding from the mother and then remove him for his own safety.
