Those were always the guidelines but various places now put kittens out at 8 weeks. I personally think it's terrible as, as you say, they still need their mothers.8 weeks is too young for a kitten to leave mum - they may be weaned, but they are still learning how to be a cat and how to relate with their environment. Kittens really shouldn't leave their mother until they are around 14 weeks old. (And vet-checked, vaccinated, flead and neutered.)
