Mother cats carry their kittens by the neck because this is where they are naturally built to pick them up. The loose skin around the neck allows the mother cat to transport her kittens safely without causing harm. It also helps the mother cat to move her kittens to a new location quickly and efficiently.
Cats may bite their kittens to move them due to maternal instincts and to establish boundaries and discipline. It is a way for them to communicate with their kittens and ensure their safety by controlling their movements.
Yes, a mom cat can move her kittens from one location to another if she feels the current location is unsafe or if she believes the kittens would be better off in a different environment. This behavior is natural as mother cats instinctively prioritize the safety and well-being of their offspring.
If very young, they should drink specially formulated kitten milk for pre-weaned kittens. A vet will be able to supply some. Weaned kittens should only drink water, with kitten or cat milk as a treat. Never feed kittens or cats cow's milk as this often causes diarrhoea.
Kittens do require supervision to ensure their safety and well-being. They are curious and can get into mischief or dangerous situations if left unsupervised. Gradually, as they grow and learn, they may require less supervision, but it's important to keep an eye on them, especially in new environments.
Cats can continue to have kittens until they reach about 8-10 years old. After this age, their fertility typically starts to decline, and the risks associated with pregnancy and giving birth increase significantly. It's recommended to spay or neuter cats before they reach this age to prevent unwanted litters and potential health complications.

Mom cats will nurse every 2 hours or when babies cry. If babies don't cry after nursing, they are getting enough. If they cry after nursing, mom may not have enough milk for all kittens. Take mom and kittens to the vet.
Yes they have a specific sound that tells the mom its them. also it looks different.
Mom cats often adopt another cat's litter, especially if the mom recently gave birth. For young kittens, that's okay BUT mom will need more food with protein (e.g. a good dry and wet food). However, 12-week old kittens should NOT be nursing. Separate the older kittens from their "adopted" mom and get them onto dry food.

No -- it's quite unusual for a mother cat not to clean her kittens. This may be a problem -- or just an idiosyncracy. Either way, I'd have a chat with my vet and see if this represents a danger to the kittens or their mom.

Cats LAP up water. They dip their tongue into the water, curl it, and bring the tongue back into their mouths. Kittens learn to lap after beginning to be weaned from their mom and beginning to eat mashed wet food.
Kittens get milk from the mom immediately. They move away from their mom for short periods between 4-6 weeks. By 6-8 weeks they can be taken away from their mom, such as for adoption. Kittens should be weaned before that time. Moms do weaning.
