hey my 1 yr old cat is pregnant i need to know..........

how long is she going to be pregnant

what will happen when she is ready to deliver

and other IMPORTANT INFO

please helpp

[catnapper]

I'll be the first to say it: you should have spayed her 6 months ago, and you'd not be worrying about this now. I don't know anything about you, your cat, or financial situation, but spays are inexpensive and often free.

Sorry to sound blunt and rough. I volunteer for a cat rescue and foster kittens in my own home at my own expense.... and it irritates me that somebody doesn't take the time to care enough about their cat to spay her. Then it irritates me that once she is pregnant they know nothing about what to do. I'll tell you what to do: GET HER TO A VET! She needs prenatal care just as a human does, and the vet will help you prepare for the kittens' arrival.

1st of all my 'pregnant cat' got like that by this cat we thot wus a girl but it was a boy so it was a mistake

[moosmom]

Well said, Catnapper.

[caseysmom]

If all the cats were neutered/spayed that wouldn't happen.

I'm sorry but..... HOW can you mistake a 'male' cat for a 'female'?? There are significant indicators... not very easily mistaken, at all.

And besides just because you thought you had two females does not cover up the fact that they still should have been spayed!!

But oh well, its too late for that now as she's already pregnant. Have you tried searching google for information on feline pregnancies??

[moosmom]

A cat's pregnancy goes for 62-65 days. Keep your cat indoors and feed her canned and dry kitten food for nutrition. She needs all the vitamins and minerals she can get at this point.

Get her to a vet, please. He'll be able to explain it much better to you. Once the kittens are weaned, please...

HAVE HER SPAYED!!!!

[Jessika]

Once the kittens are weaned, please...

HAVE HER SPAYED!!!!

And the kittens, too, if you plan on giving them away to good homes!

Not only that but the vet should of been able to tell too. After all when you get a cat (or 2) you should take them to the vets right away to have them tested for leuk & fiv (god I hope the 2 cats are negative, it'd really stink if the kittens have one or both of those horrible diseases) and get them their vaccines & a general check up.

I strongly suggest you get them to a vet, at least to have the mom & dad checked for luek & fiv.

[carole]

Well I think you have been offered excellent advice here, so please do take it, and get your kitty checked by a vet and have her spayed as soon as possible after the kittens are born, I hope you can find homes for these kittens, there are far too many unwanted kittens in shelters, wandering and becoming feral, and this whole thing could be avoided if only people would de-sex their pets as soon as they are old enough.

It is hard to be sympathetic, especially as of now I am dealing with a person in my neighbourhood who just lets her cats continually breed sick and feral kittens, I hope that you are going to be more responsible and do the right thing here, having said that well kitty is pregnant so take all the advice, act upon it and give mama and her babies the best chance possible ok.

I gather you are only young, so really this post is directed at your parents.

Oh my! No, it was not kinda rude - the truth is what it is. and sometimes the only way to get through to people with excuses as to why their cat is pregnant is to hit them with the unsugar-coated truth. As expected, you gave me an excuse as to how your cat got pregnant. I don't care if a thief came in with a pack of male cats that impregnated her. The matter is your cat is pregnant because YOU did not do the proper thing as an owner and spay your cat.

Secondly, I have no idea how you could mistake an un-nuetered male for a female. The older they get, the more prominent certain "features" become.

Thirdly, if you had them checked by a vet, and altered at 6 months old, you wouldn't have had this issue.

Above are multiple reasons why your pets should be spayed and neutered, and below is what you may need to know if the mom cat dies giving birth, or neglects the litter. Be prepared, and please be more responsible!

OK Hope I don't sound judgemental here but IF every cat was spayed then there would be all extinct

[caseysmom]

Clare...the domestic cat will never become extinct from responsible owners spaying and neutering....first reason is because there will always be irresponsible pet owners, second, there will unfortunately always be strays.
