No, the kittens need all the milk they can get. Just feed her better food and help her not be so thin. You can help by nursing the kittens yourself as well at intervals if they are still hungry, but the kittens should NOT be separated from their mother, especially when you can help them.

Survival really. they need to eat when kittens and a nursing dog has milk. the animal isn't going to refuse because of the species. If offered food the cat will take it.

How will the mother cat act after kittens are taken away?
This really depends what age the kittens were when they were taken away. If the kittens were taken too early (6 to 10 weeks old), she will most likely look everywhere for them and try to figure out why they have been taken away. Sadly, too many kittens are taken away from their mothers too early, usually around 6 to 8 weeks old (some kittens aren't even weaned properly at that age). They have had no chance to learn what behaviour is good or bad, and behavioral problems will become apparent as the kitten gets older which, often, are difficult to correct. Mother cats will teach them many things during 8 to 12 weeks, and by 12-13 weeks most kittens are independent enough to be taken away without too much stress from the kitten or the mother cat.
Does the mother cat have to stay with her kittens all the time?
In the beginning, she will be with them almost constantly. But she will need to get up to use the kitty litter and to eat and drink, and as the kittens grow, she will be able to leave them alone more often.
