Separating Kittens from Mothers! When Can Your Separate Kittens from Their Mother?

Separating Kittens from Mothers! When Can Your Separate Kittens from Their Mother? - The thought of separating kittens from their mother so they can be adopted sounds heart-breaking, but it's not! Separation from their Mother is something that would happen in the wild and is a natural progression into adulthood that kittens go through. But preparing and separating kittens from their mothers is a process that needs to be done correctly, not only for the benefit of the kittens and their mother, but in order for them to be adoptable. Claire and Rags are back this week with some advice on preparing the kittens and the mother for separation, Claire has her Level 3 certificate in Feline Behaviour and Nutrition and wants to share her knowledge, to make the process easy for all involved...including you!

Relax My Cat are experts in creating relaxing music to help calm your cat and help them sleep. Our music is composed in-house by our team of producers, and uses binaural technology designed to relax and calm your cat. If your cat has sleeping problems or anxiety problems or is even stressed during construction, fireworks or other loud noises, you should try our music.

♫♫♫ Relax My Cat Music on iTunes:

Relax My Cat's music will help to calm and soothe your cat or kitten in a variety of situations. Minimise separation anxiety, reduce hyperactivity, minimise fear of thunderstorms or fireworks, stop unwanted whining, comfort sick or injured cats and calm your cat on car journeys - Relax My Cat does it all!

Our music is based on feline vocal communication and environmental sounds that pique the interest of cats; it is written in a musical language that is uniquely designed to appeal to the domestic cat. All of the music is recorded on traditional instruments and the human voice. No actual cat, mouse, or bird calls are used (although it may sound like it).

Relax My Cat’s music is unique, and will help in a variety of situations as a substitute for medication. We have helped thousands of cats and kittens worldwide to sleep and reduce their anxiety. Music therapy for your cat can keep them calm, happy and healthy, and it is a great way to rehabilitate rescue cats - or just get your kitten or cat used to their new home.

Being re-homed is an incredibly stressful time for cats - as they have to get used to a lot of different sights and sounds, as well as their new family and any other pets in the household. We recommend that you play Relax My Cat during this time, and it will help reduce their heart rate and relax them while they explore their new surroundings. No more whining kittens - they will get used to your home in no time at all with the help of Relax My Cat's music!

You may be litter training, which can be a stressful time for both cat and parent, and our music will soothe your kitten making your life easier. When listening to Relax My Cat you will notice your kitten start to relax, and get more used to their tray, or similarly if you are training them to get used to their travel box.

It is also very useful to calm your cat during car journeys - which many kittens find a stressful time. They may associate it with vets visits - so we recommend playing Relax My Cat's music before and after visits to the vet to reduce their stress.

The worst time of year for over 60% of cats is Firework season - the loud bangs are really scary for them and you may notice a huge change in your kitty during this time. Thunderstorms are another difficult time for cats, with the majority of cats being very scared of storms because of the unfamiliar loud noises. Relax My Cat is the perfect solution to this anxiety inducing situation - just play our music to reduce your cats anxiety and make them feel safe.

The most common problem we hear is separation anxiety in cats - being separated from you can cause severe anxiety in many cats. Relax My Cat’s music has improved thousands of cases of separation anxiety and noisy felines all over the world.

Our music will help cats of all breeds and ages to stay relaxed and keep calm. We are also on a number of social media platforms - so join our community and let's chat! We love to hear about and see pictures of your kitties!

Good advice as usual...I don't deal with kittens I mostly deal with adult cats ... especially hard to home ones ..so patience is needed.

I've had 6 kittens in my shed a stray black witches cat x with daddy cat guards them on top of shed he's a tabby spot and stripes what do I do kittens look 6 weeks old

[maggiemettildanadar]

Hii. Please help me with this. A stray cat who we befriended gave birth in my house. The 2 kittens are 4 weeks old now. The kittens and the mom have grown really attached to us. The issue is that the kittens are in the balcony and since we live the 1st floor the mom can access the balcony easily. We live in an apartment so this way the cat doesn't meow at our door and disturb the neighbors. But now we are moving to a new place and this apartment is on the 5th floor. so if we decide to take the kittens with us, the mom will have to use the entrance door and meow at it to open and of course the neighbors will get annoyed. We were thinking of just adopting the kittens and feeding the mom outside the house but the kittens are too small to be separated. The society in which I live is pretty big so there might be some other spot to which we can shift the kittens and the mom after we move out and adopt the kittens after they are 8 months old. Should we do that or is there any other solution? Please help us ToT

The music is just as loud as your voice. Making it so hard to listen to you.

[Joemaniac]

I have a doubt! there is a lady whose cats gave birth, and they are 1 week now with open eyes and ears out, she told we can take them when they are 2 weeks?is it fine?or bad

[dkhana]

Thank you for helping but it’s not about the separation, it’s about how they feel about nit seeing each other again.
The kittens still might be missing their mother’s love.
Cause imagine that you will be separated by your mother when your ‘big enough’.

(No hate, just saying)

[nojustno._.]

Hello ma'am, Is it appropriate to seperate kittens at their mom once they're like 12-14 weeks old? If so, how many kittens that's appropriate to seperate them from momma cat without making her feel sad?

[mnmever]

My mother cat won't stop trying to pick them up to take them outside they are about 5 weeks already have they baby teeth sleeping on there own without her for long periods of time trying to introduce food to them but how do I stop her from trying to take them outside

[abarzuaable]

My friend's cat just gave birth & I was in the delivery room lol, but she had 6 kittens, but 1 died :( I want to keep a kitten, but I dont know when it's safe to take her

[KingCupid]

What type of cat do you have she look like mines 😩❤️

[juliepattison]

Hello! I’m adopting a kitten from a guy who has them on a farm. He has them contained in a chicken coop so she doesn’t move the kittens. The mother seems to be weary of humans and so this is his only way to keep an eye on them. I’m afraid they are not getting the proper socialization with humans. He’s allowing me to pick up whenever I would like as long as they are eating hard food. They are almost 6 weeks old. My sister in law is getting 2 from the same litter so I was thinking of keeping the 3 of them together at my house if I decide to pick up early. I just don’t want them to miss out on human interaction. What do you think?

[Nannerchan]

My cat’s are spayed. So, this doesn’t apply to me. Good video.
