Is it weird for a mother cat to be obsessed with feeding her 3 month old kittens?
Jordanshannon
No, it is not weird, nor uncommon. Believe it or not, some mother cats will allow their kittens to suckle for many months after they have been weaned. Most kittens will keep suckling for comfort reasons, as at three months old all its nutrition comes from solid food. If the mother and kitten live together, thee is no harm in letting the mother decide when she has had enough and stops the kitten on her own.

When will your 3 month old kitten stop feeding from its mother?
A Mother cat would normally stop feeding their kittens around 6-8 weeks after giving birth to them, the mother cat would stop feeding them and start to push them off because they grow teeth and bite the nipple and after a week of not feeding the nipple should dry up and when you squeeze the nipple nothing should come out thanks, llew
Is it okay if kittens are born under a bed they have been under there almost a month and I've only heard them cry twice.?
Generally the mother cat will go off to a secluded area to have her kittens and she has obviously has chosen to have her litter of kittens under the bed. As long as she is going under the bed to feed them then they should be fine. However, at a month they should be out and walking about so make up a bed (or put a cushion with an old blanket on it) and take the kittens and put them there and watch to be sure the mother cat is tending to their needs.
Will a mother cat refuse to feed her month old kittens if she is pregnant again?
No, probably not, ask your vet. When the kittens are eight or ten weeks old, the mother will have weaned them. If they are not weaned in time the mother may not have enough milk for all of them so you either need to find a substitute mom or ask the vet for some formula.

Will a five month old male kitten hurt 5 week old kittens?
Kittens taken away from their mother early tend to get attached to the human caring for them and will develop behaviours such as kneading, meowing for attention and inability to be left alone. They will lack good toilet manners and will not thrive well as they are no longer feeding off of mum. They tend to get sick easily from weak immune system (mothers milk helps to strengthen this usually). Hunting skills will be poor.
Why would a feral mother cat eat one of her two month old kittens?
The mother cat's behavior is completely normal. Kitten corpses cannot lay around because of the potential for disease and attracting other predators. Survival instincts and maternal instinct to protect her other kittens wins on this one.

How long does it take for a kitten to open its 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.
