What helps a mother cat produce milk for her kittens?

Cats nurse kittens until the kittens are about four or five weeks old. At this age, kittens begin to wean and are able to eat soft kitten food. The mother cat's teets will dry and retract slightly. The only true way to tell if a cat is still nursing kittens is through observation.


What do you do to dry up a cat's milk after it has been nursing?

It actually goes away naturally. It goes away after a little while after the kittens are done. The mother tries to avoid nursing a kitten after 6 or more weeks.

What to do with the umbilical cord attached to kitten and after birth?

leave it alone don't touch the kittens (they are to fragile at birth I wouldn't touch them until they are at least a week old (unless its winter then I put them in a towel or something). Its a mother cat's nature to eat the umbilical cord and all the blood and other fluids because in the wild usually mother cats hunt, but if they have kittens they can't so they have to eat the fluids and umbilical cord.


When a cat gives birth does the kittens have fur?

yes they do. right after they're born they are still kind of wet from being in the mother cats womb, so the fur is slicked down, but once they get cleaned and dry off they are very furry little cuties :)

Can a mother cat run out of milk even though the kittens are still feeding my cat was full but now she isnt as full as usual?

The mother's milk will eventually dry up. It's a natural sign that the kittens should be more independent from her - learning to feed themselves on solid food.


How long would you have to keep kittens before they go to another family?

Kittens should be kept with their mother for 6-8 weeks. They should be on solid food prior to being removed from their mother. Some kittens ween easier and earlier than others, but the most important thing is the kitten is able to live off dry food before giving up its mom.


You found a stray family of cats 1 cat 2 kittens under my porch they are not very friendly what should you doI don't want them hurt?

You can put out a bowl of dry kitten food and a bowl of water. Call the ASPCA. They will take the mother and kittens. If the mother and her kittens are safe and hidden from preditors (which it doesn't sound like they are) and you feed them they'll stay around. Heat and cold are another problem. Racoons, dogs and coyotes, also are a big problem in some areas and will probably get to the kittens while their mother looks for food.
