Ten weeks at a minimum, twelve weeks ideally. Any less and they may have health problems and difficulty bonding with other cats. They have to learn to socialise - that means hunting, cat language and normal cat behaviour - and the bonds to the mother need to dissolve naturally. This happens at about ten to twelve weeks. You will have a pretty messed up, skittish cat if you take it away from its mother too soon.

Baby rabbits should be 8 weeks old before they leave their mothers. A six week bunny may leave if they are eating pellets well.

Is it ok for a young cat with no kittens to produce milk and to start feeding 12 week old kittens?

Mom cats often adopt another cat's litter, especially if the mom recently gave birth. For young kittens, that's okay BUT mom will need more food with protein (e.g. a good dry and wet food). However, 12-week old kittens should NOT be nursing. Separate the older kittens from their "adopted" mom and get them onto dry food.


Could i removed my cat's 6 days old kittens from under my bed?

You can, however, keep in mind the mother cat instinct will tell her to hide her kittens. This is common in the wild. You may move the kittens, only to notice she will move them back, in the cover of night, or when you are not at home.If the kittens are out of harm, it's best to let mom do what she does best...care for her young, in her way.Observe the kittens. Make sure they are getting proper nutrition. If one looks sick, then remove it. Otherwise, it's probably best to leave them where mom feels comfortable.

Will the mom cat be upset when her kittens leave her?

Yes. She goes around the house calling for her kittens. If you take them away from her. If they grow up and leave on their own accord, the mother understands and lets them go. If you let them grow up to the proper age before you take them away from them, then it won't be so bad.
