Your Queen will decide that, but generally close to 8 weeks. I have always kept food available for my cats so when I've had kittens, they can play with or eat when they like. Some kittens will 'nurse' well after the 8 week rule, it's a comfort/security issue. If mom lets them, it hurts nothing. I have cats years old who, when very happy still 'knead' their front feet on soft material.
Remember, everyone: spay or neuter your pets! Thousands of unwanted puppies and kittens are killed every year due to overpopulation. Please be a responsible pet owner.

I think about 5 to 8 weeks. My cat's 5 kittens just stopped nursing last week and their about 9 weeks old.

I have 5 kittens who are 5 days! I was told that you can start feeding them regular food when they are a little over 3 weeks. Make sure that they are moving around freely and seem interested. Good luck!

actually kittens stop nursing in about 6-8 weeks then they are safe to drink or eat foods rather then feed on mother's milk /\/\/\

after 6 or 5 weeks you should try feeding it normal cat foods that you regularly get from the market. but feed it in smaller potions...
it might not accept the food from you, but in time. You might aswell try...

The mother cat usually decides that for them. She will wean them when they get big enough.
