Hello there,
I know that I shouldn't interfere with moma cat when she is relocating her baby kittens to another place cause she wants to let them be in safety.

But my question is :
Why did she moved them next to me in my bed?
How to deal with it? I don't want them in MY BED.

Oh, lol. I don't think anyone here is going to argue that you can't move them somewhere else. I think that rule applies to stray/feral cats :nod:

Yes you can move them, generally kittens are moved because the mother doesn't feel safe where they are. 

Place her in a secure, quiet place to begin with. Put her in a nice closed box, with an opening big enough for her of course. They should not remain in your bed, that can result in disaster.

My back hurts me like mad
cause I slept on the floor.


She is stray/feral cat and I did moved her into a closed box but she keeps moving them all the time into my BED.




Do you think I should try buying her a new house bed? The one that looks like bird house but made of cloth

Your bed is probably softer and warmer. Maybe you could pile a big blanket on the floor for her?
If she Does drag them into the bed while you are in it, I would just keep sleeping.

Thank you very much it really worked for me. Bought her a new bed and covered her with a blanket and she accepted it.

You know what is so lovely about this? The fact that such a question is even asked! There is hope for us a species after all...  My very ill elderly ginger cat whom I love to bits has decided that sleeping with me is the place he wants to be, under the covers may I add, It is where his infirmity seems to abate and I have finally agreed that it is OK with me too. Maybe that´s where he will die. He has been my best friend for 16 years and he is in no pain so the question of ethanisation hasn´t come up.

As for your kittens, maybe Mom needs some tough love though. Good luck!.
