she had them on the closet floor ( one place where they're not supposed to have them) so would it be safe to pick them up and put them where i meant for them to be born?? or would scooter try to bite me? she had them when i was in the shower and my mom was getting ready to leave so no one was there to direct her where to go

could you put a box, with an old towel in there for her and she might move the kits herself ? the kits really need to be kept warm & free from drafts, so a box would be best

try that then, put the box near her, and so she can get in easy - leave her for a bit in peace and quiet and she might move into the box with the kits


keep us posted

ok, she lets me stroke her paw but she also looks realy lethargic right now. man,
the anticipation of wondering if they're gonna all be alright is killing me. and i miscounted, she was hiding two more, sp she has five kittens

well that will be from the births, she should / will clean herself when she get chance, as you mentioned, she´ll be pretty tired - has all the afterbirth come away ?

about the kitten can you try to put it on a nipple to feed ?

What do you mean she left them? Did she go get something to eat and drink, use the toilet? Or has she abandoned them?

you shouldnt need to clean the mum atall. yes as long as the mum is ok with you being near it will be ok to move the kitten over to her. get her licking at the kitten then try and put him/her on the nipple.
good luck , hope everything continues to go well.
