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.

Is it normal for my cat that just had kittens to be sitting away from them but in the same room and will she feed them?
You need to take your cat and kittens to the vet immediately. New kittens always need veterinary attention. Also, you will need to get the mother spayed to avoid new litters. There are too many homeless cats being put to death every single day. no this is not normal, when a cat first has kittens they are over protected of their young. if the cat is not next to the kittens then it is more likely that she will not feed them.. the only time that the cat does not feed their young is when she does not recognize their scent. which mean the kitten was tuched by a human or another animal before the mother had a chance to recognize their scent. Hope this helps!
