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.

Meat is a strict no-no in your family-Ive been feedin milk to a brown tabby for about 2 weeks now-Jus read that milk provides no nutrition to cats n dry cat food ain't no good-What do you feed her?
I am surprised the cat hasn't had the 'runs' as milk is very bad for cats. You mention dry food, cats can live on that but you will find it contains meat (abet a very poor source) products. Unfortunately cats are meat eaters and must eat meat to get all the nutrients they need to stay healthy. You could make your cat ill if it doesn't get the correct diet.

Mom cats often adopt another cat's litter, especially if the mom recently gave birth. For young kittens, that's okay BUT mom will need more food with protein (e.g. a good dry and wet food). However, 12-week old kittens should NOT be nursing. Separate the older kittens from their "adopted" mom and get them onto dry food.

Your cat has just had kittens and she keeps getting pregnant over and over again If o get her done will it dry up her milk?
Her milk will probably dry up if you get her spayed. Also most vets won't spay a nursing cat, it's just a standard procedure. My advice would be to just keep her inside until she has finished nursing this litter, then get her spayed. This will allow her body to fully recover from the strain of bearing kits.
