Hades keeps bringin me one kitten and it's always the same one. She brings me the pure white kitten every-time. Hades has brought the kitten into my room (somehow opened the door) and layed her white kitten right next to me. Today she brought the same kitten to me while i was in the living room. I took the kitten back to the kitten area and I noticed that the white kitten is developing faster he was walkin and his eyes are opened. The other ones aren't far behind but the white kitten is always tryin to go off. He's adventurous and likes to be away from the rest of the kittens he's a lot like his mom he keeps more to himself. He's also a big mamas boy if she gets up he's the first to cry. I just don't understand why hades keeps bringin him to me everytime. Can anyone help me understand this?

She perhaps sees you as her co-mother, and thus allows you to take care of one of the kittens. Like cat friends do sometimes.

That kitten who she feels dont need her so much as the others...

A subvartiation it is the other way around - she carries to you the most whinning, the nuisance...

Sharing with you, that is for sure.

As the kitten is not sick, nor the others are sick, it is not question to isolate one from the others, nor trying to get help. As sometimes happens.

Good luck!

Well, it could be that the kitten annoys her and she sees you as her "mom" so she takes it to you because she has her paws full with the others.  Maybe she didn't bond with this kitten for some reason.  Or it could be sick.  Really observe it closely is my advice.  Mothers often separate sickly ones from the healthy ones as a means of keeping the others disease free. 

You say the kitten is further along than the others?  Is this correct?  Are you sure it's her kitten?  I don't know the story here but sometimes feral colony mothers will give birth and have their kittens close together... She may have ended up with someone else's kitten if she was outside and brought in.

Doesn't sound like they are in a kitten pen? So she's nervous about the kitten wandering, penning helps them feel secure and know the baby can't go too far (also helps with litter training in the coming weeks)
