Do mother cats abondon their kittens when they grow old??? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed

Jessica Keay, DVM · Accepted Answer

Most cats will begin weaning their kittens at around 3 to 4 weeks of age, and the weaning process will usually be complete from 8 to 12 weeks of age, depending on the cat. Whether the cats stay together after this may depend on the environment and availability of food and shelter. Some cats may stay in groups and others may go off on their own as they become mature and be more isolated.
