When is it ok to take away the nursing area. I know it is nessisary for them to have a safe area but both the kitten (buddy) and the mother (Tabby) prefur to be on our bed so they can cuddle with us. The mother will go back in there if we don't put her baby back when she wants him but they both spend the majority of their time out of the box. But the kitten is 12 days old. Is it ok as long as we are in the room then give it back when we leave for a little bit.
