The mother stops looking after her cubs either if she dies, or when the cubs reach physical maturity, which is 17-24 months old; they are old enough to hunt on their own and no longer need their mother's protection so they don't get it. She is very over-protective of them while they're young though; as soon as there is a disturbance or possibility of a threat in her territory, she moves them. Mothers/females with cubs are known for traveling a lot; it's because she moves her cubs at the possibility of a threat.
