I'm sorry to say this but if the mother cat chewed the heads of her kittens, you may consider putting her down. that is like a cannibal cat. i wouldn't recommend getting a small dog but rather a bigger dog than the cat and make sure it isn't threatened by the cat, because i have seen a alsatian about 5 years old, running away from a 2 month old kitten.
A mother cat nursing her kittens is often referred to as a "queen."
Cats nurse kittens until the kittens are about four or five weeks old. At this age, kittens begin to wean and are able to eat soft kitten food. The mother cat's teets will dry and retract slightly. The only true way to tell if a cat is still nursing kittens is through observation.
This is not certain. It depends on when the mother cat got rabies. If it is still in its early stages, the kittens may not catch it, but eventually the organism that causes rabies will migrate through the placenta and infect the kittens. The organism will, I believe, be passed in mother's milk, so if the kittens nurse, they most likely will become infected.
When a mother cat feeds it's kittens, the process is called, "nursing". A mother will nurse her kittens until they have the proper nourishment and are old enough to feed themselves.
It will do no harm; usually the kittens are weaned before the mother is spayed.
No, newborn kittens are not born with intestinal parasites, or worms. Cats pass eggs or larvae in their stool or milk, and therefore kittens can be infected by their mother while nursing. If the larvae passes through the kitten before maturing, the mother cat can also reinfest herself when grooming the kittens.
Answer: Kittens need their mother for about 8 weeks. Then you can take them.
She will eat you.
Kittens are born deaf, blind, toothless and completely dependant on the mother. The mother cat will feed them, clean them and lick under their tails to encourage them to toilet for the first four weeks of their lives. When the kittens are around three weeks old, kittens will begin to open their eyes, their hearing will develop and their milk teeth will start to come through. By four weeks, kittens are finding their feet. By six to eight weeks, kittens will start taking an interest their mother's food and should already be exploring the litter box. Kittens at this age learn what to do from their mother. Even during and after weaning, some kittens will still suckle from the mother. This is completely normal. Socialisation also starts around this time, and the kittens will continue to learn as late as twelve weeks old - which is one of the reasons kittens should stay with their mother and siblings until this time. These skills teach the kittens manners, not to be too rough in play (biting and scratching hurts!) and generally how to behave around other cats and people.
The mother cat gives birth to the kittens.
The mother cat probably moved her kittens.
Let the mother of the kittens take care for it.The mother cat has a big responsibility for it.
