If they have a sub optimal kitten in the litter they'll kill it, if the litter cannot be nutritionally supported by the mother it may kill and eat them. That would be something traumatizing to see as a kid.
When I was 9 my grandfather started his truck and severely wounded one of our cats in the engine bay and we had to euthanize it. Not sure why I was included in the trip to the wood shed but I was and it was sad. However, he said another one would probably come around and in a week or two there was another stray farm cat I named "Muffin 2".
