Why did my cat have her kittens on my bed?

Originally Answered: Why does my cat keep bringing her kittens to my bed?? She feels comfortable and safe with you, and your bed has a familiar odor (you) to it. Also, your bed is probably more comfortable, and she can keep them in the same place.

How do I get my mother cat to move her kittens?

Line the container with a clean, thick towel, blanket, or discarded clothing. Place it in the quiet spot, then set up the cat’s litter box, food and water bowls. You want to make the spot inviting for the mother cat just as much as you want to make the nest safe and warm for the kittens.

Can you move a mother cat and her kittens?

When will a mother cat bring her kittens out?

Why is my cat taking her kittens out of the box?

How long after a cat has kittens can you touch them?

Take it slowly, and make sure she is okay with it before you touch them. Either way, they really should not be handled that much at all until they are about 2 weeks old. If you do handle them, be sure to either wear gloves or wash your hands thoroughly before and after.
