Cat hiding in dark places is a sign of something wrong. It is possible that your cat is not feeling well or the cat needs some time to be alone by itself. Cats are generally considered very moody.

∙ 15y agoIt is likely that instead of hiding one kitty from the others, she just got started moving the whole litter to a place she thought was better, but got distracted or interrupted before she finished the job with the other two. Mama cats will move them one at a time, but if there is any threat, such as a dog or fox or other predator (or maybe even humans) in the area, she will wait until the threat is gone before continuing with others. It is likely she will finish the job as soon as the area feels safer, and will have them all moved to a place that is more sheltered or closer to food and water. If you notice that there is a threatening animal, hawk, snake, or people too near to either the place from where she is moving them or the place to which she is moving them, try to shoo them away or get an experienced person to clear the area so she can get back to the job and finish moving into the new home.

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.
