No. Because the kittens need the milk from their mother
AnswerYes, absolutely. If 2 female cats have kittens close to the same age, they will sometimes steal and nurse the kittens. Strong maternal instincts
Actually, it is pretty rare. I once owned 21 cats at the same time and the kitten can usually tell its own mother apart from the other adult females. It's not unheard of though so yes.

Why would a make cat let another cat nurse off him Fake nurse they are both kittens around 3 months?
It has been known for a very long time that when kittens are removed (weaned) from their mothers too young, they will engage in behavior that is soothing to them. When kittens nurse on their mother, they knead each side of the teat with their little paws, which enhances milk flow and augments their sucking. So, kittens may "self-parent" by suckling on another kitten (or even a dog) or suckle on their own paw pad/toes. As long as there is no irritation to the skin or paw from this behavior, it should not be an issue. This behavior will usually (but not always) decrease as they get older and be replaced with self grooming (or grooming others).

What helps a mother cat produce milk for her kittens?
Cats nurse kittens until the kittens are about four or five weeks old. At this age, kittens begin to wean and are able to eat soft kitten food. The mother cat's teets will dry and retract slightly. The only true way to tell if a cat is still nursing kittens is through observation.

Is there a stuffed animal with nipples to nurse a litter of kittens?
I have never heard of a product like this - most veterinarians will tell clients with orphaned litters of kittens to settle in for hand nursing and bottle nursing the kittens individually. It is an interesting concept though, so if you are interested in developing one I suggest going for it - it would be a major help to rescue organizations and shelter groups.
