After a couple of days, mom cat moved her kitties out of the cage thing where they have been since birth. We cleaned the bedding since it was vacant and put the kitties back in the cage. The cat watched carefully while we were handling her babies but didn't protest. One by one she picked them up and moved them back to the entrance to the closet where she had put them. We tried a couple of additional times with the same result. She just doesn't want them in that cage thing. I ordered a kitty or puppy playpen. I hope it meets with her approval. Just hanging out by my golf clubs doesn't seem like a good nursery.
