moma grey had her babies five months ago. we only kept two and she still nurses them. sometimes she'll kick them off but most of the time not. should we be worried about this? i'd have thought she'd have weaned them by now...
nah, no worries - let nature take its course - my feral mom was still nursing her two at around 5 months - and that was after they were all neutered and spayed
You all may have read that I now am fostering a mom with 3 kittens. I thought the kittens were between 6-8 weeks old (I can't get ahold of them to inspect them better). Anyway, I've had them since Sunday, and thought they were weaned (they've been eating solid food, and lots of it). Anyway, I heard some very contented purring from under the bed. I peeked, confirming my suspicions--I think they were nursing.
My question is: on the average, how long does a mother cat nurse her kittens? Thanks.
