It&rsquo;s like she doesn&rsquo;t even know why she&rsquo;s doing it, other than to make you mad.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You&rsquo;re worried sick for her and the kittens, but she couldn&rsquo;t be bothered to care about you or your feelings. This cat just delivered her babies and as a new mother, she continuously tries to hide her kittens from you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes it&rsquo;s easy to find them, but other times it&rsquo;s like you&rsquo;re playing hide and seek with a bundle of little, furry balls. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your cat is extremely protective over them. She just doesn&rsquo;t seem to get that you&rsquo;re not the enemy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No matter how much you try to rationalize this, you can&rsquo;t seem to find an explanation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other than that, you just know that you need to make her stop moving her kittens!&nbsp;You&rsquo;re losing your mind looking into every corner, trying to find them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, why does this even happen and how can you stop your cat from moving them? Those are some good and valid questions that we&rsquo;ll try to answer for you in this article.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why does my cat move her kittens?&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/How-To-Stop-My-Cat-From-Moving-Her-Kittens-5-Tips-That-Work.jpg\" alt=\"How To Stop My Cat From Moving Her Kittens: 5 Tips That Work\" class=\"wp-image-45195\" srcset=\"https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/How-To-Stop-My-Cat-From-Moving-Her-Kittens-5-Tips-That-Work.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/How-To-Stop-My-Cat-From-Moving-Her-Kittens-5-Tips-That-Work-640x427.jpg 640w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/How-To-Stop-My-Cat-From-Moving-Her-Kittens-5-Tips-That-Work-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/How-To-Stop-My-Cat-From-Moving-Her-Kittens-5-Tips-That-Work-960x640.jpg 960w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/How-To-Stop-My-Cat-From-Moving-Her-Kittens-5-Tips-That-Work-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 48px), 720px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"eager\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201000%20667'%3E%3Crect%20width='1000'%20height='667'%20style='fill:%23e3e3e3'\/%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" alt=\"How To Stop My Cat From Moving Her Kittens: 5 Tips That Work\" class=\"wp-image-45195 eager-load\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 48px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/How-To-Stop-My-Cat-From-Moving-Her-Kittens-5-Tips-That-Work.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-1\" data-src=\"https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/How-To-Stop-My-Cat-From-Moving-Her-Kittens-5-Tips-That-Work.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/How-To-Stop-My-Cat-From-Moving-Her-Kittens-5-Tips-That-Work.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/How-To-Stop-My-Cat-From-Moving-Her-Kittens-5-Tips-That-Work-640x427.jpg 640w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/How-To-Stop-My-Cat-From-Moving-Her-Kittens-5-Tips-That-Work-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/How-To-Stop-My-Cat-From-Moving-Her-Kittens-5-Tips-That-Work-960x640.jpg 960w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/How-To-Stop-My-Cat-From-Moving-Her-Kittens-5-Tips-That-Work-150x100.jpg 150w\" data-svg=\"1\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. She&rsquo;s still in labor<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you figure out how to stop your cat from moving her kittens, you first have to understand why this is happening in the first place.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You&rsquo;ll see the signs that she&rsquo;s in labor early on because she&rsquo;ll start running away and hiding somewhere where she feels the safest. However, that may change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once she starts breathing heavily and meowing constantly, the kittens are on their way.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There&rsquo;s a good chance that she&rsquo;ll move her kittens even though she&rsquo;s still in active labor. She may feel like there&rsquo;s too much going on. If she&rsquo;s anxious, she&rsquo;ll run away.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your cat could give birth to two kittens, but the third or fourth one may be delivered in a completely different place simply because she felt like moving. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No need to freak out &ndash; this is completely normal behavior for felines.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It may be quite bothersome to you, but it&rsquo;s simply what her instincts are telling her to do. You can have little to no influence in this at all.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. They&rsquo;ve outgrown the nest<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This can especially happen if you own a very small cat to begin with. She&rsquo;ll find a safe spot to deliver her babies without considering the fact that they&rsquo;ll grow quickly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She&rsquo;ll find a small and secluded spot, but the moment she starts giving birth she&rsquo;ll realize she has too many kittens to stay in this spot.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, once the kittens start getting bigger, your cat may try to find a bigger space for her new family. She wants them to have enough room to feel comfortable and to feed them without any issues.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A small space won&rsquo;t allow that.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3.

She knows when danger awaits and when she&rsquo;s safe. If she doesn&rsquo;t feel safe, she <em>will<\/em> move her kittens.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In most cases, this won&rsquo;t have anything to do with you. She&rsquo;s your cat; she feels safe with you. However, she doesn&rsquo;t know how you may treat her kittens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She&rsquo;s convinced that they&rsquo;ll be safer somewhere else and you shouldn&rsquo;t take that personally.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You have to trust your cat on this one. Especially if the father of the kittens is around as well. There&rsquo;s a lot of paternal aggression between predators when the male cat isn&rsquo;t able to come near the female. It can become very dangerous for the kittens, so the mom moves them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. There&rsquo;s too much noise<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When there&rsquo;s too much noise, she won&rsquo;t be able to handle it after such a stressful event. Nor will her kittens be able to sleep or relax in such an environment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can&rsquo;t expect to stop your cat from moving her kittens if she doesn&rsquo;t feel comfortable where she&rsquo;s at. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Too much noise can be caused by normal everyday things, or if there&rsquo;s some work being done around your home, and so on.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anything and everything can be too much for <a href=\"https:\/\/catschef.com\/mother-cat-changes-her-attitude-after-realizing-her-6-kittens-are-finally-safe\/\" data-lasso-id=\"8588\">a new mother<\/a> and newborn kittens.

You may want to help and want to be there for your cat, but it&rsquo;s really not necessary.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She can handle herself just fine. Sure, you can keep an eye on her, but constantly looking into her little shelter will make her feel unsafe, and she&rsquo;ll move her kittens before you even realize what&rsquo;s actually happening.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, let her breathe. Once you see that everything is okay, don&rsquo;t go and check on them every two seconds.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. It&rsquo;s too dirty<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If your cat moves her kittens, there&rsquo;s a chance she finds the place where she gave birth to be too soiled for her newborns.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cats are extremely clean animals. They love to groom themselves and their kittens, so if you&rsquo;re not able to provide them with a clean space, they will walk away and find something better.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not to mention that a dirty space is a health hazard for kittens as well as adult cats.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to stop my cat from moving her kittens&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Keep their environment as safe and quiet as possible<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that we&rsquo;ve talked about the possible causes of your cat&rsquo;s anxiety and why she&rsquo;s moving her kittens, we can tackle the main question at hand: How to stop your cat from moving her kittens?<em>&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, firstly and most importantly, make her and the kittens feel safe around you. You won&rsquo;t be able to achieve that if you constantly snoop around and make a noise. They need to rest and sleep.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I know they&rsquo;re adorable and you want to snuggle them, but you need to leave them alone. Also, make sure that other people in your home respect this as well.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I know that you&rsquo;re worried about them, but let them relax for a little while. Once your cat realizes there&rsquo;s no threat, she won&rsquo;t feel the need to move her babies.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2.

Even though you&rsquo;re her guardian and she feels safe with you, she may not feel safe with you touching her newborns.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She&rsquo;ll smell you on them and may want to attack you or her kittens. You can&rsquo;t expect your cat to rationalize this, as she&rsquo;s a new mother and her instincts are telling her to take care of her babies at all costs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you need to change the blanket, then try doing so with as little contact with the kittens as possible. Just make sure you don&rsquo;t do anything that will agitate the mom enough to move them somewhere where you won&rsquo;t be able to find them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Make sure her spot is clean&hellip;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>How are you supposed to make sure that it&rsquo;s clean if you&rsquo;re not even allowed to touch the kittens?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, it&rsquo;s quite easy. Make sure that the rest of your home is clean and smells nice. If your home isn&rsquo;t taken care of properly, then your cat may even take her kittens somewhere outside.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You don&rsquo;t want that, do you?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If she doesn&rsquo;t attack you while you&rsquo;re trying to change the towel underneath her that&rsquo;s completely soiled from the delivery, then change it. Otherwise, wait for an opportunity when she steps out for water or food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please, this is a very hard time for your cat, so at least give her a clean environment to take care of herself and her kittens.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. &hellip;and warm<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If it&rsquo;s cold, she&rsquo;ll go out of her way to find a warmer spot. You may think that it&rsquo;s not really necessary, but your cat would rather move her kittens in this fragile state than stay somewhere cold.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What can you do to provide her with extra warmth? Give her enough towels, a heated blanket, and even a red-light lamp if necessary. Those are the tiniest beans, and they need to feel warm.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5.
