My cat had her 3rd litter of kittens 3 weeks ago. Just a couple days ago I found out she was peeing on my bed! I had to move her kittens to my bed because she had them in my dresser andi had to get rid of it. She was doing fine the first week she was in the "kitten crib" aka my bed. Now she has been peeing on my bed, her and the kittens just lay in it too. I want to move them but have no where to put them. Can anyone help me?? Also momma cat has lost weight but eats normally? Im scared something is wrong. Please help me!

You did not mention how closely together she had these kittens, but after three litters the poor girl needs a rest.  I hope you will keep her inside so she doesn't get pregnant again on her net heat, and get her spayed two weeks after you have weaned the kittens so she can live the rest of her life free from those hormones.  Often times when a cat pees on your bed, it is trying to tell you something, usually that it is sick in some way, and often it can mean it has a bladder infection.  The cat has no other way of telling you.   Please take her to the vet, you can take the babies along with her in one big carrier.  Everyone says "Oh, I can't afford to go to the vet," but most communities have groups that can help you with that.  You have not added your location to your profile when you joined today, but if we knew where you lived, we might be able to help you find some support locally.

Your cat needs to see a vet. She may have a urinary tract infection (UTI) or other medical problem since having her kittens. Please get her to the vet asap. UTI's cause cats to urinate in inappropriate places.

In the meantime, please find a box big enough for your cat to nurse her kittens in, and set it up with blankets on the floor near your bed or in a corner or a closet. If you have no box immediately, you still need to make a nest for them with blankets somewhere in your room.

Is the litter box in your room nearby so your cat has easy access without leaving her kittens for long?

They do not need to lie in urine either. It's not healthy and can burn their delicate skin. Please see that they have a proper nest that is not on your bed.

Additionally, you will need to get your cat spayed so she does not continue to have litter after litter. It's not healthy for your cat.

Let us know how she is doing and what the vet says.

I have asked my dad to take her to the vet many times, i would take her myself but i dont have my license or a job yet. The kittens seem perfecrly heathly, just one was born woth only 3 paws but she seems healthy too.

How is mama kitty doing? Have you moved her and the babies off your bed? Is she no longer peeing inappropriately? How are the kittens doing now?

Why have you not moved them off your bed and into a nest on the floor?

Will the babies not fall off the bed?? I have 4 week old kittens and I dont think they would last an hour on a bed without attempting to jump off, sounds quite a dangerous place for mobile kittens to be honest. They will start weaning and litter trainung soon, honestly you dont want all that happening on your bed, its messy & it stinks!
