About 4 to 6 months.
A mother cat will have a litter and about 3 months later will go into heat and get pregnant. Two months later she will have another litter.
A mother cat shouldn't have too many litters in her life it will wear her down and the stress could kill her.
6 months, but a cat isn't mature until 12-16 months old
She can be fixed as soon as her kittens are weaned, at around six weeks of age. The mother will stop giving milk after she is spayed, so it is important you don't spay her before then.
No, it is not normal at all. There are several reasons why this may have happened, from fleas (fleas can actually kill tiny kittens), to health issues with either the mother or the kittens, or the mother just couldn't cope in looking after them well. It is ideal to spay your cat as soon as you can so this doesn't happen again.
Leave it alone soon they will get the picture I have had several cats/kittens so I have been through this many times. Sometimes you can bottle cat milk, but most likely the cat will have to put up with it until the kittens are ready.
It is normally within 24 hours, so you should be seeing some action very soon!
it should as soon as it starts eating, if it doesn't then it has a problem and you might want to talk to your vet, but its hard to tell with newborns, so don't make a false alarm, usually the poop is very tiny, when they're first born. So it's hard to tell
They say if the mother cat doesn't show them how, that one needs to show the kittens how to use a litter box. Mine didn't show hers and at 6 weeks I took each one and sat them in the litter box and took their front paws and showed them how to scratch in the litter and all it took was that one time and they all used the litter box then.
A cat usually comes back into heat when her kittens are weaned, but some Queens start as soon as the kittens are born.
as soon as she has the litter she will be ok she's justbeing protective of the kittens she has
kittens are predisposed to use a litter box, as soon as they are big enough to climb into one, in the mean time help them in, as soon as they are "done" you can lift them out again. they do it automatically, hilarious to watch!
As soon as your kittens are pretty well weened and her milk is drying up, you need to get her spaded because she will then go in heat again and you will have another litter! I think my kittens where like 8-9 weeks old when I got the mother spaded and the vet said she was getting ready to come in heat again.
Depends on if they are separated and for how long.
As soon as the kittens are weaned; preferably fairly shortly after so she doesn't get pregnant again. The mother cat's ovaries produce hormones that are essential for milk production; once the kittens no longer require milk, the mother cat can be spayed.
immediately - as soon as you can get your doe to breed.
The best idea is to leave the cat there until the cat comes out.
This depends on the Queen. Some cats will be back on heat immediately after and others will not come back on call for weeks afterwards. This is why it is ideal to spay the mother cat as soon as the kittens are weaned, or kept indoors and away from any male cats to prevent her getting pregnant immediately afterwards. It is cruel and detrimental to the female's health if she is allowed to carry another litter straight after the last one; she would have no chance of resting and recovering from the last litter. A queen will need "time off" to get her weight and strength back up

Probably not. The mother could be very protective and also if you are not very very careful you could hurt the kittens. But soon after they open their eyes I think it might be safer.
