Mother #Melian moved the nest again, apparently the nursery box isn't what she wants anymore. Well, ok, she can have it her way. The curtain is obviously a better place than a well prepared box...

Gives the #kittens easier access to stuff they can hide under and climb into 😉

When one of my cats gave birth a few months ago, she insisted on keeping them either under a shelf in the back of my office or inside one of the supply cabinets. I tried to set up a couple of different boxes for the kittens so they couldn't escape, but I decided she instinctively wanted someplace that offered overhead cover so nothing could swoop down on them.

@Thunderstrike Sounds credible. In the early days I kept the box closed most of the time, but because of the rather high temperatures, I kept it open most of the time.

They seem to like their new spot, where they can crawl under the radiator behind a few boxes: out of sight and out of reach.

Amazing what instinct does. Mother is only 1 year old, but knows exactly how to raise these little ones 😍
