A kitten at 6 weeks old is likely to survive without its mother, although is likely to still be in the middle of the weaning process.
The main concern is that a kitten should never be taken away from its mother at such an early age. Kittens six to eight weeks old who have already left their mothers and siblings 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 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. Taking a kitten away at this crucial stage of development can cause behavior issues later on in its life as it will not have been taught otherwise.
a kitten should not be removed from it's mother under the age of 12 weeks. under, that age kittens get health and nutrients from their mother's rich, fatty milk. when, the queen is finally slapping away nursing kittens, is a good time to remove them. or else, the female may hurt them, as the kittens grow teeth, their sharp biters pierce the female's belly causing her to feel pain, and slap the away from her body. hope this helps! :)
Yes of course - as long as it does not have an infection in it.
A kitten should stay with its mother for a minimum of eight weeks and preferably 12 weeks.
The gestation period is about six weeks.
until it dies.
6-8 weeks
Not long
You need energy to survive, so you cannot survive without energy.
Kittens typically start to become independent from their mother around 8-12 weeks of age. However, the bond between a kitten and its mother can vary, and some kittens may remember their mother for a longer period of time.
unless it's eating atleast a bit of normal kitten food, not long. most probably about a week or two, maybe more, I'm not sure. think of it this way, if you were starved, how long do you think you would last? it is said that humans last up to a week without food! so think around that, but it would be wiser to consult a vet first.
Not for very long. People cannot survive for very long without water, anywhere.
You can survive 2-3 days without any liquids
