| I have a momma cat (DSH with oriental features - maybe abyssinian (is that oriental?)) and 2 of her kittens, along with 7 other cats that live in the same part of the house. The kittens are about 4 months old and momma still supervises them all the time and hisses and swats at the other cats if they get too close to her or the kittens. Is there a point at which she will stop being so protective? (obviously this is not a real recent pic) 
So many cats...
Isn't it great?

With the colorful litter, mom is a brown patched tabby. Aby is not an oriental type of cat.
My queens were not protective after 3 months old. Its unusual she's still like this to be protecting kittens that old.

| The abyssinians are from Africa, so they aren't oriental. About the queens, I know ones with very grown children that take care of them if they can (like with 4 years old children). When they have the new litter they use to throw out the older one. But sometimes they don't do that (or they don't have a new litter). If they aren't spayed she will throw out the females when they turn fertile. And of course, will breed with the males
