Experience
I have done research on the relationship between feline diet and feline diabetes due to my personal experience in dealing with one of my own cats. I am a pet lover and always have numerous cats and dogs. I believe in feeding a high quality and by-product free diet. Diet alone cured my diabetic cat as well as either cured or significantly helped many others.

Education/Credentials

Cat Food - mother cat

Question
can you tell me if a mother cats milk is just dried out as kittens are 8 weeks old if kittens keep sucking to try get milk will the milk start up again

Answer
When the mother weans the kittens and they aren't allowed to nurse for several days, her milk will dry up.  Once her milk has dried up, if kittens begin nursing again, and on a regular basis, it is possible for her to begin producing milk once again.  However, if the mother has or is weaning them, she is usually consistant at keeping the kittens away from her and thus she will stop producing milk and continue to stay dried up.  Occasionally you'll see a cat or dog that allows the little ones to nurse for a prolonged time, and some produce milk for up to 12 weeks or longer.
