More so I see my Willow (mom) calling them to nurse. She enjoys it as much as they do. Do I should stop them by now or just let them still nurse. I am going to spay her but I will wait until she is ready.

The kittens will nurse as long as mom allows it. My cat nursed her kittens for 16 weeks at least, even though I spayed her when her kittens were 8 weeks old. The kittens continued to "nurse" for months for comfort, though I doubt she had any milk left.

She can be spayed now. She will continue to nurse after she is spayed if she wants. You can also have the kittens fixed now.

Yes, mom can be spayed anytime now, and the kittens are at the perfect age to be fixed now also. Mine were done at 12 weeks. [emoji]128522[/emoji]

I love to see her nursing them, she usually comes to my bed next to me and calls them and they fall a sleep nursing.
