Kittens should be kept with their mother for 6-8 weeks. They should be on solid food prior to being removed from their mother. Some kittens ween easier and earlier than others, but the most important thing is the kitten is able to live off dry food before giving up its mom.

Why would your cat kill and eat her kittens when they were about 2 weeks?

Some mother cats do this for many reasons, sometimes it's because the kittens are ill/deformed... or if someone has been handling the kittens and then the mother can smell their scent on them In both cases it is natural instinct. If the mother cat smells quite different scent in her kittens, she may think kill them for protection. If the kittens are ill/deformed, she also eats them before they die and bring diseases to the rest of kittens. Also dying kittens or dead kitten corpse marks the smell for the predators to notice where she lives.
