How does a cat protect its kittens?
When someone tries to harm the kittens, the mother would get up and start growling. All the kittens will have poofy fur because they know somethings wrong. The mother would pick the kittens up by the scruff and bring them to safety.
Why does the Mother keeps running off with her kittens and hiding them why?
To protect them. It's instinctive for whatever reason.
Cat and 4 kittens inside the cat is a outside cat can you put them all outside and it not hurt the kittens?
It depends. Kittens usually need to stay warm and healthy until they start to grow into an adult. However, if the mother takes good care of the kittens and has a father to help take care of them, they could grow up outside.

It depends if they're wild ones or home-trained ones normally wild mother cats usually take their kittens away to protect them from danger. If it is a home one it is completley safe ;) Reply :D
How do you move the kittens into a box if your cat has had her kittens outside of her box?
If you try to move them she will probably move them where you can't get to them. My mother cat moved her kittens into the grage behind alot of junk after we tried moving them.
What should you do if you have new born kittens outside and it is very hot outside?
If you have newborn kittens outside and it is very hot outside, well, bring them inside! But, if you can't, get a fan to cool them off and make sure they are in plenty of shade! The mother should provide them with whatever else they need, and just hope they will make it

It will do no harm; usually the kittens are weaned before the mother is spayed.
What does it mean when your cat eats a kitten?
It sounds like domination or battle for the fittest. If the cat is not the kittens mother this is natural. If the kitten is not protected by its mother the kitten is at risk to being killed until it grows older to protect itself. Obviously, the genetics of the mother wasn't fit enough to stay with and protect its offspring. Psychologically, your cat may see the kitten as a threat to its own existence when it grows older. Or maybe your cat was just hungry XD Addendum to above answer: It could also be that the kitten was sickly and posed a threat to the rest of the kittens. Sometimes mother cats will eat a sickly kitten who has died in order to protect the rest of the kittens from dying of the same illness.
Your cat had kittens outside what do you do?
It is best to bring the cat and her kittens inside the house to protect her from temperature extremes and other animals. Newborn kittens can't regulate their body temperature and they need to be in a warm room (75 degrees, ideally) without drafts. A box that you cut a hole in lined with blankets or old towels will make a comfortable nursing nest for the mother cat and her babies. The box should be placed in a dark or dimly lit room that doesn't get lots of foot traffic - a closet would be good as long as the mother has access to a litter box and food and water. The kittens should be left alone with their mother for the first week, as they need to nurse almost round the clock. The kittens shouldn't be handled at all in the first week or the mother may get too stressed from having her nest disturbed.
When do you take over kittens?
Answer: Kittens need their mother for about 8 weeks. Then you can take them.
