Our cat was finally separated from her two kittens who kept nursing well past the age of 6 months. I feel sorry doing that but obviously she was not going to wean them herself! I don't want to keep them separated longer than necessary, so when do you think it would be safe to bring her back? And will she start lactating when around kittens again even if her milk supply has already dried up? The kittens were spayed and neutered a while ago so the onset of puberty won't change their scent while she's away and she should be able to recognize her babies.
