Can kittens live on the mother cats milk only for ten weeks?
Lizzard1985
Most kittens wean well before 10 weeks of age. Some kittens start to take an interest in their mother's food around 4-6 weeks, although some can take longer. Weaning is a gradual process and often takes several weeks. However, a healthy 10-week old kitten should not be on the mother's milk alone; by this age the kittens need extra sustenance and nutrients. The majority of the time, kittens are fully weaned from mother's milk and can be taken from their mother around 12 weeks.

Do cats eat mice that they didn't kill themselves?
When they are kittens, definitely. Their mother kills mice and rips the mice to pieces to show the kittens what to do. Later she brings injured live mice to the kittens to teach them to hunt. When they are adults, it will depend on the cat. House cats often will not even eat mice they killed themselves as they were not trained by their mother to do so.
How long after kittens are born will the mommy come out and eat?
The mother cat will be very tired at first. We live on a farm and have lots of cats and our mother cats will usually stay with the kittens for maybe a day or two then come out for food and then quickly get back to the babies. Don't worry. Healthy cats can survive a couple days without food.

At what age does a cat leave her kittens?
The best time to separate kittens from their mother is when the kittens are twelve to fourteen weeks old. Kittens six to eight weeks old have not learned any important socialisation or behaviour skills yet, which kittens learn from eight weeks onwards. During this time kittens will learn how to play and interact with their littermates, mother and any other animals and humans in the house. Some kittens are not yet fully weaned until after eight weeks. They will learn what behaviour is acceptable and what is not from their mother, and will learn how to play and share with their littermates. They will also learn about grooming and litterbox use at this crucial time. Most kittens are well socialised by the time they are twelve weeks old, and are very likely to grow into very gentle and affectionate pets.
