Cause before I got my male (the dad) fixed he and Nala weren't separated and I thought he may have gotten to her. She was also eating a lot.

Its been awhile since ive posted about nala and her kittens. We kept 2 and they are now 5 months old. Every once in awhile i will catch them nursing on mom still. Is this normal? Arent they a little old to be nursing still?

At this point they are probably using mom as a pacifier. As long as she lets them, it's nothing to worry about. A couple of mine did that too for months! Mom will tire of it eventually! [emoji]128522[/emoji]

Are both kittens girls? If not, you will need to start worrying about getting them fixed very soon!

We'd love to see updated photos!
