What is the ideal age for separating a kitten from its mother? This is still a debate among the catlovers. Kittens have to be separated with their parents so that they can live in their own new homes. If in the wild, kittens will usually stay with their mother until their mother is pregnant again, then the parent will naturally begin to encourage their children to leave. After the child leaves, the mother cat will begin preparations to give birth to her children again. If the parent has no more children, or lives as part of a cat colony, it is usually the kitten who will begin to pull away from her mother when she reaches sexual maturity and starts looking for their own partner.
But this process can take several months or even up to a year. But if our cat is a domestic cat, of course we will deliberately separate the child with the parent so they can go to their new owners who certainly love them. Before determining what age is right, then we will discuss some of the things that catlovers must oblige to know.
