@kysse, read this:

Umar narrated that: The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said, "A woman was punished in Hell because of a cat which she had confined until it died. She did not give it to eat or to drink when it was confined, nor did she free it so that it might eat the vermin of the earth."

Commentary: It is necessary for the people to treat animals kindly and tenderly. Harshness to them is wrong.

@alpha maybe the young ones were sick.

@kysee no need for the guilt, in most likelihood - If the mother cat has not come back calling out for her kittens then its more probably they reunited and sensing the lack of a warm welcome at your home probably went to seek shelter elsewhere.

But if the cat was black, then it might be that after seeing your cruelty it has headed to the ocean to come back with seven more potent jinis, be careful you don't want to walk into your compound only to be ambushed.

Install those infra red cameras, and have a pastor come to cleanse your home.

Yeah I know that's why I feel terrible.
What would you have done?

@Alpha,they did. I let them out to eat vermin..

God reigns.
