my little flash had her kittens sat morn as most of you know,i put them in the kitchen in there nesting box mom was very happy as been for three days but today she kept coming in the front and crying to me,and tonight as i was taking my little ones to bed i heard the kitten crying,she was bringing them from down stairs and putting them under my little ones cot,does any one no why she is doing this?she is eating and have fresh water all day

Maybe she dosent feel very safe in the kitchen.

They will quite often move their kitts if they feel insecure.try putting her in a bedroom,thats what i do

i didnt really want her upstairs

The kitchen is a high traffic area,thats why she feels insecure.If you dont make her comfortable she could abandon and stop feeding her babies.i always have kittens in bedroom,they never cause me any probs

but she as been ok for three days this is what i dont understand

Clare uses a kittening pen, mum cat and kittens all feel safe secure and happy, may be worth seeing if you could borrow one.

should i let her show me were she wants to put them herself

thats wat she is in at the moment......she is walking round the house with them in her mouth.she is taking them under my bed ,is it ok for the kitten to be there,if so i dont mind that but what happens to there poo and wee cause i dont want it all over my carpet?

Oh boy, do I know where you are coming from. My cats are pros at moving kittens....fix her a covered box ( I took a paper towel box (from the store) made a nice bed in it and placed it in my closet. Sure nuff....kitty moved her babies in there. Try and find a place like that ....nice and dark and secluded and let it be her idea to move them there. You will probably have to locate her in a bedroom with a closet door left open (box inside). Do not leave your bedframe under your mattress....she will almost certainly move her kittens there if she gets a chance. I had to remove my bed frame and put my mattress and box spring on the floor last week...I know it a pain but very necessary. Yes it can be the third day that they start moving unfortunately....sometimes they move the first day....depends on the cat. One of my queens actually bit her babies so bad while moving them that one died. She raised 4 out of 7. Two were just too tiny. She is due in June and I have my fingers crossed. One of my other mamas insisted that the closet was not good enough and moved her babies on top of the quilt box. I put them in a playpen....back up on the quilt box they went. I gave up, made them a bed up three and rolled sheets along the front to form an edge. I also placed blankets in front in case they fell. They are now 3 1/2 weeks old and are on the floor running around. By all means put her in a room where she cannot get out...preferebly by herself.
