If the mother cat of kittens is still milking, and the kittens are under eight weeks, then you should let the kittens milk as much as they want. Depending on their age and weight, you should gradually give them more of your own water and semi-wet/dry food until they start coming to you and not 'meowmy' for food. Then they should feed completely on a human-provided diet.
If the kittens mother is still milking and the kittens are ready to move on from mom, then you should try taking the kittens away from their parent for gradual time increases.
For example:
day 1, 10 minutes
day 2, 20 minutes
day 3, 30 minutes
day 4, 1 hrs
day 5, 2 hrs
day 6, 4 hrs
day 7, 6 hrs
day 8, 9 hrs
day 9, 12 hrs
day 10, 18 hrs
day 11, 24 hrs
Hope this helps & good luck!

It depends.. The age of the kitten is important.. Kittens can get milk.. it just depends on how old they are. 3 months is the right time you can feed them milk if they are suppoted on their mother's milk. However.. if the kitten does not have a mother, it is encourged that they are to have milk. You are welcome!! -Amber <><><><> Many cats and kittens have trouble digesting cow's milk- upset tummy. There are milk replacements you can get from a vet if you need to nurse an orphan kitten- but would pass on cow's milk. Remember, they are kittens, not calves.

You can't make the mother cat feed the kittens. Sometimes a mother cat won't lie down to let the kittens nurse because she wants something from her owners. Has she been following you or meowing around you lately?There's another possibility that she has no milk. I strongly suggest to bring her and her kittens to a vet to see that everything is okay. For the time being, you will have to feed the kittens yourself. Use an eyedropper or a small baby bottle. Hope this helps.
