It depends on the individual cat. Some species of cat's are more likely to actually help raise young kittens and some are more notable for their likelihood of killing kittens. If you don't know how your individual is going to react, it's best to keep momma with her babies separated from the other cats till the kittens are at least 9 weeks. Also, be wary of the mother, especially if this is her first litter! Mother cats seem to be more likely to kill their own kittens then other cats. If you believe the mother is stressed out too much and/or is threatening the kittens, you should seperate the mother and start bottle feeding if they are still too young.
