You are loving your new camera arent you?
I like the little white paws
i want a kitten..
Hello fellow cat-lovers,
So do you all remember the stray who gave birth in our garage back in September? Well, she just had a new litter again yesterday!
This time we're going to get her fixed but I think there's only a small window in which we can do that (after the kittens are done feeding from her), so grateful for any insight.
You live close to Toronto? I'll have 4 for you in about 8 weeks
She can go into heat right after nursing. I'm not sure they don't go in heat before then. Bela went into heat almost immediately after she started moving away from the kittens to nurse. - 6 to 8 weeks.
When I noticed this I encouraged the kittens to eat/drink from their own bowls and got Mommie fixed.
As soon as the kittens are eating and not nursing as much, go ahead and get her fixed. Otherwise you will have another litter to deal with.
It's springtime now, mating season.

None of the cat adoption places in Toronto are taking in any more cats which is why we still have her and we figured we missed the window to have her fixed. sigh
omg For some reason I thought you got her fixed after she had the last batch of kittens.
She can get pregnant right away again. Can you keep her inside / garaged until they kittens are weaned?
I thought mother cats couldn't get pregnant while nursing?
They can?
7. How soon after giving birth can a cat become pregnant again?
She can get pregnant again anytime - it's not unusual cats come into heat a few days after giving birth. However, it's best to have her spayed not before her kittens have switched to solid food, which should be after eight weeks or so.
Until then, keep the mother cat indoors, and away from any noncastrated tom cat. That's the best way to prevent another litter, apart from spaying.
Just thought I'd post some pictures of my cat. My wife got him from the humane society. His ears look the way they do because he lost the tips of them to frostbite.
Anyway....I used some rose petals and took a bunch of pictures to give my wife a laugh.
His name is Cevin (pronounced "seven") ....named after a famous DJ named Cevin Fisher.
