Why Does My Mother Cat Keep Moving Her Kittens?
My mother cat keeps trying to move her kittens. They are only 1 week and 2 days old and they are just starting to open there eyes.. I am really not sure what to do.

Mother cats often do this, especially if they feel the kittens are being disturbed where they are. If you are spending a lot of time with your cat, she may want to move the kittens where they can be more private. If you give her space and peace she will probably be fine. This forum may be of interest as it features people with the same problem as yours.

Also - You should not touch the kittens. Mother cats will often reject their kittens if a human has handled them.

It must be first time for your cat to have babies that is why it's showing such attitude. Well it is very natural for cats to move from place to place when kittens are very small. Just let the cat do what suits it the best. Cats do this to ensure safety for their kittens from predators. Sometimes they do it consciously and some times unconsciously. Don't interfere in it otherwise it will feel more vulnerable. Try to make less noise near kittens. It will distract kittens and their mom.

Well this is the thing she had them in my closet so they are right there in my room. She keeps wanting to put them under the bed but she will only bring 1 or 2 with her, not all of them. And I get worried that it is too cold for them under the bed with nothing to sleep on. Now if I take them and put them back in the box she will give up but then 3 days later we are going through the same thing...
