The kittens are 14 days old. They live in an ikea storage box :-) I took them all out of the box to see what would happen. The mother immediately settled down and closed her eyes :-) She obviously needed it. Kittens were spinning around a little while they were whining. The mother occasionally gave a special sound. Like to say, "Don't worry kids, I'm right here"
Eventually they all came back in the box and they were immediately cleaned and a couple of them also came to the toilet :-)
