Kittens should stay with their mother until at least 10 weeks, and continue nursing throughout this time. Kittens should usually stay nursing for 12 weeks, but the kittens' mother will normally stop them nursing when the time is right.

Is a 3 and a half year old kitten able to leave its mom?

What about care of mother and kittens after kittens are born?

just leave the mother and the kittens leave fresh water and food out for her. don't touch the kittens until the kittens can walk at least or if the mother cat trusts you and doesn't get mad and start hissing, you can probably play with the kittens at an earlier time. When the kittens get older only leave water and they will start to drink it. Never give milk to kittens when they are still small because they sometimes have an allergic reaction that could possibly kill them. hope this helps.

When should a mother cat be spayed and will she leave the kittens?

It is recommended to spay a mother cat when the kittens are weaned, but be sure to check when your vet is most comfortable to spay her. The spay will not cause her to behave any differently to her kittens, but is advised to wait until the kittens are on solid food as the procedure can disrupt, or even stop, milk flow.
