Adult cat eats kitten head first

This is unpleasant, yes, but it is natural. I don’t know where it is as Google can’t detect and translate the language. It looks like the Far East to me. And the cat is an urban, community cat or feral cat. The video may well show a mother eating her kitten. I am not sure. Mother cats eating their kittens happens and I have covered that topic fairly extensively. See links below for two example pages on the subject. We don’t know if the adult cat killed the kitten i.e. if it was infanticide. I also discuss lion infanticide on this site – also see link below.

Note: videos on this site are typically made by people other than me and held on YouTube servers or the servers of other businesses (not the server storing this website). Sometimes the videos are deleted at source which stops them working on this site. It that has happened I apologise but I have no control over it.
