Kittens can typically leave their mom at 8 weeks old, as they need this time to develop important social and behavioral skills from their mother and siblings.

Our kittens just turned 6 weeks - are they ready to leave mom yet?

Its a sutable time for them to leave their mother at about 12-14 weeks of age. Sadly, too many kittens are taken away from their mothers too early, usually around six to eight weeks old (some kittens aren't even weaned properly at that age). They have had no chance to learn what behaviour is good or bad, and behavioral problems will become apparent as the kitten gets older which, often, are difficult to correct. Kittens six to eight weeks old have not learned any important socialisation or behaviour skills yet, which kittens learn from eight weeks onwards. During this time kittens will learn how to play and interact with their littermates, mother and any other animals and humans in the house. They will learn what behaviour is acceptable and what is not from their mother, and will learn how to play and share with their littermates. They will also learn about grooming and litterbox use at this crucial time. Most kittens are well socialised by the time they are twelve weeks old, and are very likely to grow into very gentle and affectionate pets.

Is a 3 and a half year old kitten able to leave its mom?

A 3-and-a-half-year-old cat is not a kitten anymore; it is a full-grown adult cat. Cats are generally independent animals, so they are able to leave their mothers once they reach maturity, usually around 8-12 weeks of age. By 3 and a half years, a cat should have already established independence from its mother.
