momma cat had her kittens almost 3 weeks ago. yesterday she moved then & is not eating.she just nurses.?

I had them in a little covered "house". yesterday momma cat started meowing & tried to move the kitties under the bed. I didn't want them under there because I am handicap & if something happened I couldn't get to them. I made up a box & put them at the end of the bed under a chair & a tent of my comforter. momma calmed down. she now isn't eating. all she's doing is nursing.momma comes out every once in awhile to get a good scratch & then goes back to her babies. I feel so sorry for all of them because they are all cramped in the box but that's where she wants to be. is something wrong with the momma?

    The mamma cat's priority right now is to ensure that her kittens are safe and adequatley fed. If your concerned put a little food or kitty milk in the area, she will be able to smell the food/drink, if she wants it, she will have some. Don't worry about the mamma cat too much, she is just doing her job. Good luck.
