To get kittens to stop nursing, gradually reduce their access to their mother's milk and provide them with solid food instead. Additionally, you can separate the kittens from their mother for longer periods of time to discourage nursing. It's important to monitor their health and ensure they are getting proper nutrition during this transition.

You can try applying a small amount of bitter apple or citrus spray to the mother cat's nipples to deter the kittens from nursing. Additionally, you can distract the kittens with interactive toys or engage them in playtime to redirect their attention away from nursing.

If it is very young and is still nursing then PLEASE DONT DO IT. The kittens will want to drink that instead and stop nursing from their mother, therefore dying from lackof nutrients. If the mother is dead, then buy a substitute. If the kittens have stopped nursing, I still wouldn't let them drink it until they are three months old because it is hard for them to digest it at such a young age. Hope this helps:)

Jus like a real life mommy, they are able to produce milk as ling as the kittens are nursing. When the kittens have reached the appropriate age to be weened YOU have to keep a close eye and try to get your kittens to stop nursing....kittens will start eating the food if you put it out- try to get food meant for kittens or even soft food- not canned for- jus a softer version of dry cat food. Once all of your kittens have eaten regular food- DEF make sure none of them are nursing- then momma cats dries up and all is well!
it is called a 'Queen'
