hse has her reasons and no one will ever know wht they are but i think i would just let her do her thing..she likes the closet--then you like the closet...cold is no problem as long as they are not exposed to other out door cats.

Cats are known to move their kittens. Maybe the other spot had more foot traffic, so she's looking for something more quiet. Maybe leave the closet door open and heat the adjacent room. Especially make sure there is no draft. Or prop some large pillows around her new nest (but careful they don't topple over). If she leaves two behind, simply bring them to her new spot. Cat mothers can be a bit 'stupid' at times, I have seen that too. Ours would always sit on them :shock:

as long as the other 2 kittens are not having problems, i wouldn't move them. if she wants them separated and you move them together she might get upset or afraid that you are going to hurt them. let her do what she wants with her babies, as long as they are healthy i wouldn't intervene.

WELL I GUESS SHE MIGHT HAVE BEEN A LITTLE WARM WHERE SHE WAS BEFOR. SHE MOVED THEM INTO THE HALL CLOSET AND IM NOT COMFORTABLE WITH THAT BECAUSE THE BABIES WILL SOON BE MAKING IT OUT OF THE LITTLE BORDER I PUT UP.
THEY WERE MOVING AROUND SO MUCH THAT I HAD TO NAIL CARBOARD ONTO THE SHELF!
THIS IS ARE PATHWAY TO THE REST OF THE HOUSE ESSPECIALLY THE BATHROOM AT NIGHT..... :(
THEY ARE ALL DOING WELL AND THEY ARE SO FAT.LOL

Keep the light on in the hall/pathway, so that anyone going to the toilet at night can SEE them!
