ELI5: Why did our mother cat start hating her kittens after they grew up?
gpt
Her maternal instinct wore off.  Once a cat's kittens grow up she doesn't feel the need to care for them any more.  She starts treating them as she would any other cat.  Some cats seem to form a semi-permanent family bond with their kittens but others don't.  Kind of like humans.
