Answer:
Six weeks.
Answer:
Taking a kitten away at six weeks is far too early.
Many, if not all, cat breeders strongly advise that you should not take a kitten away from its litter until 10-12 weeks of age. The reason for this is this allows the kittens to learn how to behave around other kittens and people. Playing with their litter-mates and mother teaches the kittens what is and is not acceptable. Taking a kitten away at this crucial stage of development can cause behavior issues later on in its life as it will not have been taught otherwise.
Only move them if they are not in a safe, sheltered place. Provide mother and kittens a dark place, like a closet or under a desk where they will not be disturbed. She may not be agreeable, so show her the new place when she leaves the babies to eat. Let her move the babies, if she is strongly protective.
No, this would confuse the mother bird. If you do move the eggs then they would be in even more danger because they would be with out a mother. There would be no other way then to make the cats stay back.

First mother cats never leave their kittens alone because they are still babies and don't know how to take care of themselves, usually some mother leave to get food and water and the kitties wont ever move from there possession.
No
Yes, because when your near the nest, the mother will flies away, but while she's flying away, she's watching the nest. The mother is usually near the nest at all times.
It's the inherent nature for any animal to make there kids move and make them find there own rescue sites for their own. They sense that the the training is done enough and they need to move forward on that.
