You see my cat gave birth to 2 kittens about 3 months ago and they have grown a lot but I'm worried as they are not leaving drinking their mothers milk and do eat food and drink water too but mostly just drink mothers milk what do i do?! Please tell me

It is unusual for mom not to wean them before 12 weeks old, and I am surprised her milk has not stopped by now. But you say they are eating and drinking too. Are they gaining weight normally? Do you have plans for rehoming them soon? At this age you could start taking them away from mom for short periods, and feeding them before letting them rejoin her.

Is mom going to be spayed? If she is spayed that might help to dry up her milk and encourage the kittens to leave her alone, apart from the fact that she might discourage them more.
