The word "solitary" means "by oneself" or "alone". So in this case, the cat will live a "solitary life" because he will no longer be able to rely on his mother for food, and he will have to learn how to survive all alone. This is the same thing as being independent, because when someone is independent, they do not rely on the help of others.
