Stray Cat's Kittens Are Missing?

I've had a pretty feral cat and her three kittens (was 4), around our house for a couple months now. I'm trying to feed them at the same time everyday and get them used to traps so I can get them fixed. A couple of nights ago they disappeared and I hadn't seen them, tonight the mama came back without her babies, is this normal or should I be worried?

The kittens may now be on their own. Feral cats are not domestic cats, and act differently.

Stray kittens at a few months old are on their own. Let's hope another good hearted soul is feeding and maybe socializing them and then when old enough will get them spayed/neutered.

Prayers for all.

This is normal behavior for feral cats. The kittens are on their own now. They may still be in the area and you may get another chance to trap and neuter them. Mom cat is most likely pregnant and may be close to delivering her next little family. You may be able to trap mom cat before she delivers if you have a place to foster. You could also reach out to a rescue for help with this. The rescues get really good at it. It is best that the new batch of kittens be raised in a normal home. After a few months it is harder to socialize them.

I would not be too concerned with this. The mother more than likely took the babies away to be on their own. They might come back from time to time to get food.
