    Missing kitten
    I have to mother cats and seven kittens, they have their own room. One day one of those kittens went missing and its too young to go on its own. He is about a month old. And I found few drops of blood on the floor. Is it possible that he died and his mother took him away?

    It is possible that the mother cat founding the kitten and hid it somewhere if it was dead. If the kitten was four weeks old, then it was perfectly able to go somewhere on its own.

    Some cats will eat a sick kitten, to protect the others. At 4 weeks of age that's unlikely though.

    More likely that the kitten died and the mother took it away to hide it. You'll likely find it once you smell it. Sad but true.

    So sorry this happened.
