I won't immediately jump to the 'bad writing' card (although I think that's a lot of it), my guess is they were trying to quickly illustrate what happened to kid viewers without explaining in detail how succession works. 'Tygra gets a brother, loses everything' Which is NOT how succession works.
Plus, it makes their mom look REALLY callous. At least she had the good grace to look embarrassed about it. I hope in the episode there are more scenes of her later not totally ignoring Tygra, but I have a bad feeling about this.
On an unrelated note, this has shown something I've always kind of wondered. In order to look the way they do, do the cats basically all only breed with the same cat clan? I ask because if Cheetara were to marry Lion-0, she's not a lion, so would they have spotted lion children? I always just assumed I was thinking too hard and they would never answer the question, but now, for I think the first time (correct me if I'm wrong) we've seen someone's mother, and as far as I can tell she is a lion (or a puma, hmm...), so it makes my old over-analysis relevant.
Why jump to bad writing though? I feel like we were suppose to get that impression from that scene. For most of the clip, he is her "little Prince", but she switches it up when her biological child is on the way.
In the comic, Cheetara and Tygra's twins had spots and stripes. Real life hybrids also have features from both parents.
By the way, I'm still open to it being something else.
