My cat's kittens vanished. Did she hide them or did my dog eat them?

Question

Cat had 3 babies on Saturday under my bed and everything was fine, my Chihuahua (Miley) went under the bed and I don't see her trying to hurt them but cat attacked and now we can't find the babies. she stands in the hall and follows us around crying, leads to bedroom and then sits there. today she's been throwing up. did she eat the kittens? how would I tell? can't find any blood, fur, bones but she keeps going to one spot under the bed, but I haven't seen or heard anything. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 1 year and 1 month old | 9 lbs

From what you are describing it sounds more likely that Seagulls became frightened after Miley came under the bed. She has most likely taken the kittens and hidden them somewhere else. I would keep Miley away from Seagulls if possible for a few days. Try to search the house and the yard for where she could have hidden the kittens. They need their mother's milk for 100% of their nutrition. Cats can hide their kittens in very small and surprising places. Once you have located the kittens create a safe haven for them and for Seagulls. A room or space that no one else goes into ideally, and especially not Miley.
