The mother cat will be really ticked off at you if you disturb her litter of kittens. If they are wild, that is. Chances are, if you touch a mother cat's kitten or kittens, she'll neglect them after the scent of human is on her kittens. Translation: She's saying, "They touched you and I'm not caring for you anymore."
This however is not true. For I have touched feral kittens and the mother still took care of them. Even though at times I would have gloves on. Which I learned that it doesn't matter whter you do or don't. The mother will get ticked off thinking you are going to take away her babies. In due she'll bring them back to there they were.

Can you hold newborn kittens when their eyes are shut?
Yes you can, but it depends if the mom cat trusts you enough to let you hold her babies at that young age.
Did you hurt the mom cat by throwing away kitten placentas?
Not really. The mother cat will usually eat the kitten placentas and will, as a result, get back a small amount of the protein she has expended in creating the kittens. But there is nothing special about the placentas, and depriving the mother cat of them will not hurt her.

Usually because they like each other but sometimes it could be cause they are lonely and have no other cats to lick. It is called grooming and it is a way to get clean. So if you have two cats that like each other and they lick their private areas because of that.

Can a mom cat take the kittens from one location to another?
Absolutely. They're protecting the kittens from predators. I used to work in a home improvement store that had a garden department. Garden departments have bird seed, which is eaten by mice, so it's natural cats would also move in. One of our cats had a litter of four kittens, which she would move up and down in the racking. One time, we watched her move her kittens from the floor to the 16-foot level on a rack. She climbed an upright four times with a kitten in her mouth.

First of all, keep the mom cat comfortable, fed well, and clean. The same goes for after the kittens come. Second, you'll need to prepare for the kittens. Make sure the bed/box or wherever the mom cat is staying is big enough for herself and for her kittens. Keep the bedding clean as well.

Is it ok for a young cat with no kittens to produce milk and to start feeding 12 week old kittens?
Mom cats often adopt another cat's litter, especially if the mom recently gave birth. For young kittens, that's okay BUT mom will need more food with protein (e.g. a good dry and wet food). However, 12-week old kittens should NOT be nursing. Separate the older kittens from their "adopted" mom and get them onto dry food.
