Answer:
Six weeks.
Answer:
Taking a kitten away at six weeks is far too early.
Many, if not all, cat breeders strongly advise that you should not take a kitten away from its litter until 10-12 weeks of age. The reason for this is this allows the kittens to learn how to behave around other kittens and people. Playing with their litter-mates and mother teaches the kittens what is and is not acceptable. Taking a kitten away at this crucial stage of development can cause behavior issues later on in its life as it will not have been taught otherwise.

∙ 12y agoOnly move them if they are not in a safe, sheltered place. Provide mother and kittens a dark place, like a closet or under a desk where they will not be disturbed. She may not be agreeable, so show her the new place when she leaves the babies to eat. Let her move the babies, if she is strongly protective.
