my room is the only place in the house that we can keep our cat and her 2 kittens (for safety reasons) but everytime i'm laying in bed she starts to try to burrow under my blankets and brings the kittens onto the bed with her. I need some advice for how to go about making sure she stays off the bed with her kittens.

hmmm well she is not feeling safe with them where they are now, which is why she is moving them. Do you have her in a box, if not get a box for her with very high sides, so she will feel safe. If there is room (and its safe) move her into your closet where she can feel enclosed and safe.

Hopefuly others will come with some other pointers. Welcome to TCS.

sorry I don't have any advice for you. my cat would stay in her box all day with her kitten but once I was in at night she would bring him up to bed with me. most times laying him right next to me and she would go and lay between my husband and I. it was like she wanted a break and I was her babysitter! LOL I would put him back in the box and she would go get him and put him back up. so finally I would put him next to me so I would know he was there and not roll over on him. I didn't sleep at all for the first week or so that she was doing it. then it got the point that I would feel around in my sleep (my husband told me this one morning when he woke up) and see where the kitten was before I would roll over. I slept much better once he could move around a bit more. I tried everything to keep her in the box including setting up a 2nd box in my room etc. nothing worked so I finally gave up. hope you have better luck. She was in our room her whole preg. and slept on our bed every night so guess that is what she wanted him to do also????
