So I had a stray pregnant kitty come to my apartment and I ended up keeping her. She had 5 kittens and I had planned on finding homes but after awhile they were just so attached to each other I couldn't bare to separate them so I decided to keep them all, and the mama loves having them around. So, all the kittens started eating at the normal age, they're healthy, they've obviously been with their mama long enough so they weren't prematurely taken away or anything, they're six months now and they still try to drink from the mama! Silly cat even lets them (even though there's nothing to drink). I'm curious why they do this, anyone know?

This mat caught my eye because of its size and texture, which traps fine litter rather well. It's large enough for jumbo litterboxes, which is also a plus. It's not quite as easy to clean as a...

Love and comfort. Nothing like knowing mommy loves you. They'll quite after awhile - or she'll get sick of it!
Good for you for helping them all...

My mother cat Loudmouth did this for a long time too. After I got her spayed tho things changed and she doesn't let them nurse anymore. Have you gotten the mother cat spayed yet? This can help a lot. Also, try rubbing just a bit of lemon juice, or bitter apple spray on her teats. Gives the kittens a surprise and can sometimes deter them. Just a suggestion, if it's getting on your nerves, or if the kittens are injuring mama kitty.

It's not that unusual, mum will tell them when she's had enough.
Hope everyone is spayed/neutered now, don't want the boys mating their mum or sisters.
