Yes, it's normal. If a kitten stays with its mother it can show nursing behavior for up to a year. The mom will wrestle the baby or walk away if she's not in the mood (which will happen more often than not).

No, the kitten should be weaned right now, when a kitten nurses it takes a lot out of the mum, so you should keep them apart and wean the kitten otherwise the mum may get sick. I know it seems cruel but you could let the kitten starve like for a day and then try it with some food. Dont let the mother feed the kitten anymore it is too old now. I hope this helps.

The mom will stop it when she's sick of it. Make sure there is kitten food around for the kitty (of course, you already have that covered, right?)

eeehhh...ideally mom should have pushed her away by 8 weeks (2 months) of age. i can't imagine it's really hurting anything but i would encourage her to eat a kitten formula food only.

no, it should have already been weaned by now. if it eats hard food as well, it shouldnt be unhealthy or anything, just not normal
