    I would keep the mother and kittens together as long as 8-10 weeks. The longer they are with her and the more they are handled by loving people, the more socially well-adjusted the kittens will be.

    I agree with wondergirl...
    I have had cats my whole life.
    Let them stay with their mother until she pushes them away.
