This clue might be a double definition.

'young kittens' is the first definition.
'litter' can be an answer for 'kittens' (I've seen this before). I am unsure of the 'young' bit.

(Other definitions for litter that I've seen before include "Sow's young" , "Odds and ends of rubbish left lying about" , "Number of animals born to the same mother at the same time" , "Refuse; brood" , "Trash left lying about" .)
