It's possible Aleria is anxious about the kitten moving around. Unfortunately, you cannot train her away from this behavior but there are a few things you can do at home which may help. Here is a great article about cat's instinctual needs: https://www.petcoach.co/article/why-every-cat-needs-a-place-to-climb/ Use a Feliway diffuser, set aside 30 minutes a day for vigorous play and you may even look into an interactive toy. This behavior will generally stop on it's own. When the kitten is 12 weeks old, I recommend to have your cat spayed. Having a cat spayed has many health and behavioral benefits. Additionally, 1 female cat can have almost 30 kittens in a year if not kept indoors and away from male cats. That's a lot of kittens/cats to care for! I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
