I have a cat that stays outside and she just had kittens and my 8 year old wants to look for them (not touch them just look), where should we look?
Please no dirty answers! This is for my child! Thanks!!!

If she is an outside cat,Your best bet would be under the house...I would wait until they can come out theirselves...Mommy has put the kittens were she thinks it's safe...Thats really the only place i can think of...

I wouldn't go looking for them just yet. If she thinks that her hiding place has been found, she may move them. Give her a few days to a week, and then start your hunt. Also, how friendly is this cat with you? Those kittens do need to be handled by humans not to turn wild. The last thing you want is a litter of wild kittens. I'd rather take on the biggest meanest dog ever, than a batch of wild kittens. So, just as soon as you hear their cries, or they start to wander a bit away from mom, start petting and handling them. You may want to see if you can get mom and the babies into a garage or shed at that point, where you will be able to keep a better eye on them, and make sure all are eating well and doing okay.

I have outside cats too, mine have had kittens in the barn, Garage, look in dark corners and high up places. Mommy cats like to keep the babies as hidded as they can for safty. Small tight fits are a good place to look too. If you want to get rid of the kittens to homes, I always take the kittens from mom at 5 weeks and bring them in to teach them to potty and eat dry food. But you have to make sure you pick them up and play with them every day to get used to people.

Any isolated dark places. When mom had the kittens she was looking for a calm quiet place to have her litter.

Just sit quietly outside now and again... you will hear the kittens mewling eventually. Otherwise, check cosy, dark corners like under the house, porch, steps, garage... or between ceiling and roof. Kitty will choose a place to keep her kittens safe from intruders.

All of the above answers are good but you also have to take into cosideration that once they are found, the momma cat will move them again for safety reasons. they don't normally like anything near their spawn at this early age. Good luck and congrats.

it's better to wait until the kittens are a few weeks old and they will come out on there own, because mom might move them to an unsafe place if you get to close to her kittens.

If you have a porch, look under it. A crawl space, anywhere she can hide and feel safe. Next time she comes home watch where she goes when she leaves.

Look in dark places. Possibly garage, cellar, under porch.

Wait for your cat to go out, and just follow her
