If cats have a still born they usually eat it also. They need to get rid of the "evidence", traces back to their wild cousins.

When Houdini had her first litter, she had a still born kitten. It was WAY under developed, all I found was the kittens head. She had eaten the rest. My roomates cat, who was also pregnant at the same time and gave birth to kittens two days after Houdini, also had a still born. They both had one still born and exactly the same amount of kittens! When Kevin (I didn't nameher that!) had the still born I had to pull it out of her, it was stuck in her for about two hours. I wanted my roomate to see it so I put it in the bathroom wrapped in a towel, I accidently forgot to close the door and Houdini smelt it and tried eating it too!!!!!! It was the saddest sickest thing I have ever seen.

They used to feed eachothers kittens. There would be Houdinis kittens nursing off Kevin and Kevins kittens nursing off of Houdini. You should see Mystic when he was a kitten! He was so cute! I should upload some pics of them with the kittens!
