She should be with them at first all the time except for short breaks for the litter box and food and maybe a little attention herself. If one cries, she will rush back to check them unless she can see them from where she is. She should keep them close to her, grooming and nursing them as well. Most cats curl around their kittens to keep them warm and safe. If she abandons them, it will be pretty obvious, she will leave them alone and ignore them or push them away from her. Most likely she will just leave them there alone to cry their hearts out and she won't care that they are crying. She will pretend that she has never seen them in her life and that they have nothing at all to do with her. Let us know how she is doing.
