Mother cat got lost for four days is it okay to let her nurse the kittens now that she has returned?
I would say yes, unless it appears she is injured or not interested at all in feed the kittens...
Can you touch kittens when they are 2 weeks old?
Yes, and this can help to socialize them to the smell and touch of humans. However, you should be very careful - the mother cat may not like you touching her kittens, and the kittens will be very fragile so you have to be very gentle. You should also limit your time touching the kittens to when the mother is nursing them so you don't interrupt their sleep - newborn kittens sleep the vast majority of the day.
How long does it take for kittens to open it's eyes?
Newborn kittens generally open their eyes in 10 to 14 days. As far as raising new born kittens the mother generally does all the work. They are very particular about caring for their babies and you shouldn't touch them really at all for about five days at least. This may sound strange but the mother cats take care of their kittens on their own and need little help from humans. They could possibly choose not to care for the kittens if they are bothered to much. Kittens are very delicate and the germs from human hands could cause their eyes to mat up and not ever open. As I said before they are delicate and for the most part your mother cat will know what to do and your kittens should be just fine. Hope this helps.

When could you give away baby kittens?
Let the mother cat look after the kittens for a few days. Just keep an eye on them and make sure she's feeding them, grooming them and caring for them. After a few days, maybe eight days, since they should open their eyes after eight days, only you should touch them. Limit the amount of visitors and make sure the cat and her kittens are somewhere quiet, where they won't be disturbed. Don't touch the kittens much and make sure they only look at their mother as their mother. If the kittens start following you or mewling for you, don't go near them for a while. Once the kittens are wandering about on their own, they should be okay to be properly handled.

What is the lifecycle of an ocelot?
The ocelot mates year-round. About 70 days after mating the female gives birth to one to three young. The female makes a den in the brush. She leaves the kittens at night to hunt for food, but she spends the day with them. The kittens begin hunting with their mother when they are about three months old. The kittens may stay with the mother for up to a year. By: Waddy Htun Naing
How long after kittens are born will the mommy come out and eat?
The mother cat will be very tired at first. We live on a farm and have lots of cats and our mother cats will usually stay with the kittens for maybe a day or two then come out for food and then quickly get back to the babies. Don't worry. Healthy cats can survive a couple days without food.
