Mother cats typically chase their kittens away around the 3rd or 4th month of life. However, this is rare in domesticated homes. Even if a kitten is chased away, it will likely live in the same house, and the mother cat may simply stop caring for it. This is because in the wild, mother cats cannot care for their kittens for their entire lives; they must eventually learn to hunt for themselves.

During this period, owners can also provide their kittens with nutritional supplements. Secondly, owners can train their kittens to urinate and defecate at fixed times and locations to prevent inappropriate urination and defecation. Additionally, because kittens have weaker immune systems and are more vulnerable at this time, owners can vaccinate them to help them develop antibodies, thus providing them with the ability to resist bacterial and viral infections.
