The best time to separate kittens from their mother is when the kittens are twelve to fourteen weeks old.

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. Some kittens are not yet fully weaned until after eight weeks.

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.

Why does my cat hate her kittens?

It is not uncommon for a mother cat to show aggression towards her kittens as they grow older. This behavior is often a natural instinct to encourage the kittens to become more independent and eventually leave the nest. The mother cat may also be feeling stressed or overwhelmed by the demands of caring for her kittens. It is important to monitor the situation and provide a safe and calm environment for both the mother cat and her kittens.

Yes. She goes around the house calling for her kittens. If you take them away from her. If they grow up and leave on their own accord, the mother understands and lets them go. If you let them grow up to the proper age before you take them away from them, then it won't be so bad.
