Maybe the cat didn't want to share any territory. :P

I've seen the nicest sweatest cats turn into monsters when around other cats.

The scent thing is only one of several reasons this might happen.

http://www.messybeast.com/kill_kit.htm See "Females Killing Kittens" about halfway down the page.

One of the possibilities is that it could actually be genetically predisposed to the behaviour, which would mean any surviving kittens could have it too. There's also plenty of other possible explanations, though.

Edit: If one of them was stillborn, it might be possible that the others also had invisible defects that she could detect, so she ate them to recoup her losses.

That would explain it, though I found the missing kitten!

She didn't eat it after all, just hid it.
