Most Mama cats will move their kittens and even hide them if humans disturb them too much. It really has nothing to do with trust. It is instinct on the Mama cat's part to protect her babies from human handling when they are so tiny.
We have multiple bathrooms, so that's a non issue. My vet cited no concerns about touching the kitten, but if you think about it, those cats have all lived in our home for so long that we all pretty much smell more or less the same. ...this video is very old and they all grew up to be cute well adjusted kittens in good home.
wow she really trusts you! i would have been more worried about them staying in the bathroom. people in the house would eventually have to get a shower and if the mother feels the babies are in danger she could even kill them herself (unusual, but it's a possibility). she would move them to a different spot in the house and that would be stressful to all of them.
it's so cute to see her worried about the babies' cry! such beautiful little kittens!!! awww! i love cats so much :D
Mama cat was like where are you taking my babies!? When they started to mew, so cute! My mamma cat hissed at me once when I picked up one of her kittens so I didn't interfere after that, it didn't hurt anything though. But it does tell me that mamma cats are protective of their babies just like human moms.
they're all cute, and l loved the soft squeaking noise the white and orange one made, and the gray just whined, hehe you should call that one whiner, hehe :P
I can't say it's true in ALL cases, but most household cats will not abandon their babies if you hold the newborns - they know your scent. I think it's more prevelant in the wild or with wild cats.

To those who disapprove of Cindy picking up the kittens as they are weening, you are correct. The mother will abandon them, this is quite obvious in the follow up video "10 week old kittens."
a) They are eobviously not weaning as they are newborns
b) No they will not. My cat has had kittens many times and she hasnt abandoned them. If it were a stray cat not acustomed to humans, she might, but this is obviously a very tame, household cat, who will probably not abandon her kittens,as she trusts her
Glad i have relieved another Unknowing well-this-probably-will-happen-im-not-going-to-bother-googling-anything moron of their very serious condition!
normally mother cats are okay if she knows the person handling her kittens and will not get too distressed but the kittens don't understand and for them it's frightening even if its just a short time. mother cats rarely eat their babies if they are indoor cats. feral cats will.
they are soo cute, have you kept them? mum cats are pretty good at letting u handle them, she trusts u and knows u wont hurt them. she is a very and happy proud mum in the video. thanx for sharing with us.
"i herd ur not suposed to pick up the babies cause the human cent mite get to strong on the kitten and the mom would eat them :S"that is true to a certan level... you can pick them up just not alot and on the first day there born i would give them 2 weeks to calm down but no you can pick them up some times as long as the mom cats ok with it haha!
You shouldn't take the babies from the mommy cat! The mommy is tired so are the babies. she JUST gave birth that day. she probably wants some quiet! But cute kats!
wow! mama cat must really trust you if she's letting you hold her babies so soon after birth! other mamas would swat at anyone trying to take their babies. they're so tiny!!!
your really not supposed to pick up and touch baby kittens at that age. they mother will move them and keep moving them and end up getting them stuck some place. or she will just go and abandon them
I had no idea (nor was it mentioned to me by my vet who handled them pretty heavily when we brought them in that day) but fortunately she didn't abandon them at all.
@CindyAdzuki Hi Cindy. It is mostly untrue about the Mother abandoning her kittens. The mother loves you, and knows your scent. She won't abandon her kittens. Cindy you handled those kitten very lovely. Thanks for sharing this heat-rwarming video.
Unfortunately we have no idea who the dad was since she was a stray prior to being found by the Town Lake Animal Shelter. They're pretty cute though. The white one is starting to get siamese markings.
