Hi all! I was hoping someone could give me some advice! I have a new momma and six squirts, five days old. I made her a birthing box and she liked it for a bit, but now she keeps moving the kittens to a place under the bed where it’s kinda dusty and feels like a bad place for babies. I would move them back to the box and five minutes later she would move them back! The box is some clean towels on top of a pillow. I don’t want to stress her out, but I think they would be better back in the box. Anybody have some advice?

    That’s what I’ve done and we both seem happier! She was very protective of the spot after I moved the babies, so I respected her space and just wiped it up a bit with a towel. I put two fresh towels there for her that should give them a clean space, but I will try to clean more each time I change the towel once a day. I plan to give her space for now! Thank you!
