akshay meshram on 20 Feb 11Beginning the Weaning Process It is your duty that you should allow your kittens to go to their new homes at 8 weeks old, you will want to begin weaning them by 6 ½ to 7 weeks old. Shorten their time spent with their mommy if you can. She will also do her part in beginning to wean them. By 7 ½ weeks old, separate them from mommy so that they have a few days of not nursing. This will help them adjust before leaving your home, and it will also help mommy's milk begin to dry up slowly. When you begin weaning, buy some small stuffed animals for your kittens to play with. Rub them on mommy and the other littermates, and when your kittens go to their homes, each one can take a woobie with them to make them feel secure and make the transition easier.
