Answer 1

Cats usually move their kittens from the spot they had them to another area that is warm and safe for the babies. If she's only allowed indoors try checking the closets, laundry room, under beds, anywhere that the cat may seem to go and stay. If she has access to the outdoors it's possible she may have moved them to a shed or garage area. That happened to me once and I followed the cat until she got to her kittens inside the clothes hamper!

Answer 2

A mother cat will often move her kittens to a dark, secure, hidden place. This is instinctual, cats do this in the wild to ensure the safety of their young from predators and other hazards. The mother cat will carry her kittens in her mouth by the "scruff" of the neck. You may catch her in the act of doing this frequently.
I would give your cat a nice confortable box with some old (but clean!) blankets. I have used old (clean) T-shirts that I never planned to wear again, so the mother can be reassured by, and the kittens can learn, my scent. I would put her in an undisturbed room where it will be peaceful for her, but at the same time she and her kittens are able to be watched. Keep other pets and small children out of the room. It is ok to have a little contact, but not too much, so the kittens can become used to human contact.
I would not worry too much yet, because she has likely hidden her litter. You will hear an occasional cry of a lost (they are born blind) or hungry kitten. A nursing cat will also eat more than normal to provide nourishment to her nursing kittens. Check the small, enclosed spaces in your house, and you will likely find the mother cat and her litter.

Answer 3

I had taken care of 2 stray cats in the past that had kittens. After she had them on my porch she actually moved them to an old wood stove burner that wasn't being used. Cause it was away from danger and also in a darker place. It is most likely the mother has moved the kittens to a darker, quieter place. If it is outside, just keep an eye on her to see where she goes. She will always go back to them. If inside just keep an eye on her she will eventually lead you to them. Good luck finding the kittens!

Answer 4

Is your cat indoors only? (hopefully she is at this time anyway).
It isn't unusual for cats to move their kittens so it is highly likely she has found an alternate spot in the house where she has her kittens now, like under a chair, behind an appliance, in a closet, under a bed etc. Watch her and see where she goes.
Hope all is well.

Answer 5

momma cat had obviously moved her kittens to a place perhaps inaccessible to humans. Have you been handling her kittens (way too much)? Just observe where momma cat goes... sooner or later you'll also hear the kittens mewling. But I suggest you leave them alone for at least a week or two.

Answer 6

You didn't state if your cat stays indoors or outdoors. Mama cats will oftem move their baby's if they feel they are being threatened. Try picking mama up and doing something gentle that will make her meow. Like rubbing her tummy or scratching her back. Walk around with her while you are doing this and if the babies here her, they will start crying and you should be able to find them. Good luck.

Answer 7

Does mom have access to the outside?

Cause sometimes they will move their kittens to another location (hopefully a safe one, and not one near predators)

I would start looking in small crevices where she might have put them (under furniture etc.)

Answer 8

Try looking outside if your cat has access to the outdoors. Try double checking everywhere you have been. Try checking every where. In cab nits, closets, Every where.

Answer 9

I would be looking for them, if you let her in and out more than likely she has moved them outside. Try looking in buildings, under the buildings, and if you have a barn try there. Try anywhere to where she can get them and put them in the dark.

Answer 10

Check all the cozy places, baskets, under furniture. (etc) You can always try the "here kitty kitty" thing. The mother should know where they are instictivelly though. Good luck!
