Mollie Rose, you were there for me through good times and in bad, from the beginning.Your passing will leave a hole in my heart.We will be together "One Fine Day".
MooShoo,you left me too soon.I wasn't ready.Know that you were my soulmate and have left me broken hearted.I loved you like no other. 1999 - 2010
Maya Linn, my heart is broken. The day your beautiful blue eyes went blind was the worst day of my life.I only wish I could've done something.I'll miss your "premium" purr and our little "conversations". 1997-2013 See you again "ONE FINE DAY"

I would leave them at their home, and encourage Mom to visit every other day. Cats are fairly independent and can live many days with dry food and water left out. Every other day would mean just five visits for her. Then when you return, the kitties will not be suffering from readjustment issues etc.
Good luck and have a nice holiday!

I am in agreement - leave the kitties in their own familiar surroundings - much less chance of any of them getting stressed out.
BTW - where are we going on vacation??? - I want to make sure that I pack appropriately!

To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.
Ecclesiastes 3:1The clock of life is wound but once and no man has the power
To know just when the hands will stop - on what day, or what hour.
Now is the only time you have, so live it with a will -
Don't wait until tomorrow - the hands may then be still.

I would vote for leaving them at your place. We've just found that our cats handle things better that way.

I'd also say leave them at home in their own environment - but, if they get along with your mom's kitties, it would be easier for her. Then, if your mom has a car...
In my opinion, they do need some loving every day.
Have you tried taking some of them over to your mom's place and see how they react?
Good luck, and have a great holiday! Where are you going?

Leave the cats in their own home. Cats do NOT relocate easily, as dogs do.

I also vote for leaving them at home. Mine were SO glad when I started leaving them at home when I'd go to work on the boat. They were far more relaxed when I got home and no adjustment time back was needed.. It is so much easier on them.
