I have two she cats, the first gave birth to 3 kittens last Wednesday and the other gave birth to 3 just yesterday. All seemed fine but an hour or so ago the new mum started to miaow and went behind the sofa (where its a bit cold), while she was there the other cat got in with her babies, no problems she just lay with them for a while. Anyway mum#2 came from behind the sofa and picked up one of her kittens and took it behind the sofa, she stayed there for a while and I couldn't entice her out so I picked up one of the other kittens to make it squeak and that got her out, but she promptly picked up another kitten and took that behind the sofa too so I've put a blanket under them all but really don't like her behaviour, the other kitten is still in its warm box at the moment.
Is this typical behaviour?
