Im wanna move the kittens

It's fine to move them! Making a nest out of a box and towels might be appreciated by the mother. She won't hurt the kittens. At most she'll get upset at you for handling them, depending on how much she trusts you. Just make sure you do all your handling of them in front of her so she can keep an eye on where they are.

She went and gave birth under a table, the nest I build is in my room
Your room is probably a good place for mom and kittens. Have you moved them yet?

Why are you afraid the mother will kill them?

Because the previous owner lied about her age and told us she killed her litter
It's highly unusual for a cat to kill her kittens. How old are the babies now? Are they nursing well?

So, this is quite soon for mom to have another litter and it's hard on her body. Can you give her kmr to drink every day? She needs the calcium. She also needs to eat as much dry and wet kitten food as she wants while she's nursing.
Can you keep her inside and away from intact males?

She is an escape artist you never know when she leaves
How long have you had her? Do you have plans to get her spayed after this litter weans? It is not healthy for mom cats to have litter after litter.

We had her since last April 15, we though she was young and was spayed after she had her last litter we where gonna get her spayed but she got outside
Be sure to get her spayed this time when the kittens are 6-8 weeks old. You really need to make sure she has an appointment set up and does not get outside until then. She'll be happier and healthier and won't run off or have more kittens. [emoji]128522[/emoji]
It's a good sign that the babies are nursing well. Mom cat will likely take very good care of them.
If your mother feels they are okay where they are, then just keep an eye on them and feed mama cat lots of wet food and dry kitten chow. She needs it while nursing.
