I would leave them there for awhile. Your cat found it a good place to have the kittens, so I would trust her judgment until they're a little older.

You don't need to watch newborn kittens like that. The mother will take care of all their needs and she sounds happy with the present situation. You need to check on them a couple of times a day to make sure they are in the drawer and that she is going to them, cleaning them and nursing them.
I think the best time to do any relocation would be when their eyes are open and they start moving out of the drawer.

Go ahead and move the kittens involving mom in the process. For now let only one adult in the household touch them and only when neccessary. When they are old enough to get out and explore, introduce other family members (including dogs) to the kittens. If mom feels threatened by the environment, however, she may move them to a place of her choosing and you won't be able to change her mind.

I know it's not easy. However everytime i've had kittens and moved them, the mother always moves them back, so honestly you're better off just leaving them for now or you'll be playing a game. Good luck with them!

Moving them will upset the mom and she will hide them from you.
Did you know that allowing your cat to have these kittens have actually killed cats at the shelter because there is not enough homes for them?
Please spay your cat!!!

It depends on how much your cat trust you, but usually you can move them if she does, but if she doesn't want them there, she will just move them again. Some cats will stop feeding the babies if you mess with them, but not usually if the cat trust you and you have had her for a while. Try not to handle the babies a lot because that will kill them.

It would be OK to move them...maybe give them a few days? And if the mom cat doesn't like it do NOT move them.

feels like a typical kitten! Lol! try utilising a sprig bottle of water bolstered with "NO" while she does some thing undesirable. Kittens do sleep plenty. Ours sleeps plenty for the duration of the day yet he additionally sleeps in mattress with us all evening too. proceed to purpose to maintain her conscious for the duration of the day. additionally try twiddling together with her and dealing her around after toys and so on earlier on your bedtime and in line with risk you will tier her out. make optimistic she has a good number of toys to chase and play with. those on a stick which you utilize to tease them with would desire to actual tire them out.

You can move them--a box is a great place (open top, of course)-they will be really mobile really soon and they'll get all over, so the box will keep them rounded up. Aren't they so cute?

Don't move them yet. Give them a few days. You don't want to scare the mother.
