Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Mom cats do like to move their babies if they feel they are at risk. For some reason Icy thinks they are and is stressed. If she is indoors, allow her to move the kittens (with in reason) to a new location. Watch her (but do not stress her) to see where she moves them to. If a lot of people are handling the kittens or coming to visit, I would limit that until the kittens are older. I hope this helps and good luck!
