She has them in quite an akward spot, do you think she will move them?
I'd like to move them somewhere new for her, but I don't want to P her off.
Maybe within a few days she will do it on her own?
Let me know what you think.

I had a comfortable cardboard box tucked away in the bathroom closet for Grayce. She moved the kittens behind the drafty couch.
So, I made her a 'shelter' there with a dresser drawer and towels.

Where are they at now? Will they be safe there?

I'll bet she moves them again. That's an instinct to keep Toms away when feral cats are in the wild. Don't P her off!

If she feels threatened, or if her nest becomes to odorous she will move her babies. You can provide her with several different nesting boxes in the room to see if she will move them there. You want them in a protected area, away from drafts, so she will feel safe in moving the family. Not out in the open-

I moved mavericks baby for her as she had it in my lap and had no intention of going any where else! unfortunatly for her i have to go to uni (not to mention bathroom) so sitting still for 4 weeks wasnt an option!

maverick hasnt moved hers yet and its been a week and a half since she had it. should i expect her to move it then?
