I have a litter of 2 kittens, Moma cleans them and looks like she is biteing them but they don't cry she also pushes them around a lot when she does this is this normal behavior. I don't know and am like a worried new mom my self. They are 2 1/2 weeks old. thank you for any advise you can give

She is just telling them to stay still while she bathes them, it's normal

Very normal - she's making sure they 'animate' to get strong and healthy, and the nibbling stimulates them as well.

I have a Mother cat who has 4 babies who are 4 years old and she still does that when she grooms them.
