Can mother cats and kittens be kept all the time?

Mother cats and kittens can live together for a long time under the condition of continuous feeding.

Because the mother cat can provide all the nutrition and care that the kitten needs, the kitten needs to rely on the mother cat all the time in the first few weeks after birth, so it is suggested that the kitten and the mother cat stay together if possible, at least until the kitten is weaned.

At the same time, the mother cat will also teach the kitten how to live independently, such as how to use the litter box and how to eat by herself. This mother-child relationship not only helps kittens grow up, but also strengthens their intimate relationship and mutual trust.

However, in some special circumstances, such as the mother cat is in poor health or there are too many kittens, it may be necessary to send kittens to professional institutions for foster care and support until they are independent enough.

In a word, mother cat and kitten have a natural mother-child relationship. They can live together for a long time, but they also need to pay attention to timely separation and independence.
