What happens if you steal a kitten that a mother is protecting?
well the mom gets angry and chases you and gives you rabbies on your index finger or face. Depending on how old the kitten is when taken from it's mother it could either live and thrive, or it may die. If it is old enough to be taught to take nourishment on it's own (10-14 weeks) it is very likely the kitten will live and grow into a healthy cat. If the kitten is not old enough to nourish itself, it is highly likely the kitten will die from malnutrition. Also, the one stealing the kitten may not get away without some painful claw marks from the mother.

The mother cat will bite, chew, and eat the sac. If she takes too long, break the sac away from the kitten's face. But otherwise, let her finish doing it. Her licking stimulates the kitten to breathe.

How old do cats have to be before they can move away from their mother?
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.
Can you let mother cat away from kitten?

Can you move newborn kittens from their mother?
You can pick them up. But I would just leave them alone. Do not pick any of them up or bother to try to pet/touch them. Chances are, the mother will get angry and fight. Technically, no. They must first be weaned which takes about 6 weeks to do. Once they are weaned, you can take them away from their mother but you will need to put it on a newborn kitten milk formula, which you can get from your local pet store. You can also find out more at a pet store and they will show you what to do. The first answer on here is sort of wrong. You can touch the kittens, the mother won't reject them if you do. But I would advise that you should not touch or hold the kittens until the mother has kind of wound down with them.
