Whenever I have seen a mother carry kittens it was to find a place she feels safe to leave them. When we brought a mother and her kittens down the road to a farm, she carried each kitten, one by one back to our house.

Because she is restless, agitated, and she feels her babies are not safe. She will hide them where she thinks they will be safe and will not be bothered.

They would be discovered and reap the consequences.
