Yes, it would be a good idea, otherwise the mother may feel threatened and abandon her kittens or the other cats may attack the defenseless kittens and/or the mother.

Send them to a local humane society, or have someone adopt them. Please do not abandon them, they might die if you do.
Is it normal for Mother kittens to abandon their living kittens to look for the ones that died?
Some mother cats will do just that but not as a rule, they will feel the loss of one of their kittens the same as a human would feel, this is why there is saying that some people use to describe an "unfit mother" Cats make better mothers than her!" not a nice saying , but there it is.
Do feral cats specifically moms with kittens come back to a lair they were scared away from?
It is possible. If a mother feels that her kittens are in danger, she will often come back to carry them away, to a new location. Be sure not to touch/handle the kittens, as this may encourage the mother to abandon them, or even kill them, if she doesn't wish for them to fall prey to a predator.
Will the mom cat come back is you touch her kittens?
It greatly depends on the mother cat. Many breeding Queens seem to prefer their human companions nearby, and do not mind if her kittens are touched. However, if a stranger approches or touches the kittens, this will stress the mother out and will likely move the kittens to a different and more safe location. Mother cats are very affectionate over there young and will very rarely abandon them.

It's my cats first litter how many kittens can i expect?
It is impossible to know how many kittens a cat will have without a vet exam. How old is the cat? Is it indoor or outdoor only? I have seen a 6 month old kitten give birth to a single kitten and abandon it. I have seen a 1 year old cat give birth to 4 kittens. Some have as many as 11 kittens. Also some breeds have larger or smaller litters. There is a lot to consider. All this is true, but on average a cat will have 1-8 kittens in a litter.
How long will a cat mourn her kittens?
If the kittens die, or are taken away by humans, it can be very saddening to the mama cat, and will take a long time to get over it. If she only loses one kitten, she will take care of her other kittens. But if its all of her kittens, then she will probably grieve herself to death. She can, actually. If she has another litter of kittens, she might abandon them. Who knows; she might even take care of them. Cats are usually predictable, but sometimes, this can be VERY UNpredictable. So, you never really know. You just have to try it and see. But I would be careful. If you were to take kittens from a mama cat, forever, then you might want to take them at six weeks or older. If you can't do six weeks or older, than do at least four weeks. If they are younger than that, you must leave them with their mama, or feed them warm milk in a bottle. I can give you more information about taking care of cats if you need it. I'll tell you on the Discussion Page.
