I am not sure if that is possible or not, but a wild stray cat that lives in woods across the street seems to always be pregnant. I wish I could catch her and take her to the cat orphanage.

Although male cats don't go in heat, in the Northern Hemisphere, all females are receptive at the same time from about February through October. Therefore, a male calling and chasing of one spayed female he particularly likes could be prompted by OTHER attractive girls in the area being in heat. They will continue to cycle every three weeks until they become pregnant or are spayed. Consequently, a girl cat could become pregnant as early as four months of age! Immature mothers may have problems delivering or caring for kittens.

It varies from cat to cat. A kitten can have kittens in approximately 7 or 8 months old. And then they may wait a month or two and have more kittens. A female cat that isn't fixed can become a baby machine up until she dies. Depending on her health, she may live outside for 7 to 8 yrs. If you have a female cat that has one or possible two litters of kittens and they are all weaned from the mother, you really should get her fixed. Or if you have a female cat that you don't want to let her have kittens at all the earliest you can get her fixed is when she turns 8 months old. Good luck with your cat! Cats are precious gifts to us cat lovers and could be our best friends!

Hi Shaezhra -

A female cat can get pregnant as long as she is not too old. She can't get pregnant while she's nursing her kittens.

Did you know that when a cat has a litter of kittens, there may be more than one father?

Hope this answers your question.
Linda

Funny question.
They never get pregnant because they want to. I seriously doubt they would know how.
I'm more than sure they don't relate to the how or when they become impregnated to the sixty-six days later when they deliver their litter.
Female cats love, feed, fuss over and protect their kittens.They will rarely be more than a few feet from them other than when completely necessary.
Unfortunately they will constantly become impregnated for as long as they menstruate.
Nature, especially to the feral cat isn't kind.

One unspayed cat and her offspring can produce 420,000 kittens in seven years, so yes, they can pretty much keep going! Given that 3-4 million dogs and cats are euthanized (put to sleep) each year due to a lack of homes to adopt them, you should definitely have any female cat in your care spayed! There are countless benefits both to the cat and to society.

You can ask your vet or local shelter about spaying. It's just a one-time cost and a simple procedure, and your cat won't bring any more unwanted kittens into the world. Also check out http://www.charityguide.org/volunteer/fewhours/spay-neuter.htm for links to low-cost spay/neuter programs.

Cats have a natural breeding cycle of about 6 months, which means they have 2 litters per year, unless they're interrupted by confinement during the mating season. Breeding has nothing to do with what your cat wants, it's a natural instinct of survival. When a cat (or any other animal) is physically ready to reproduce, it's body chemestry and behavior changes to respond to mating instincts.

It depends upon male cats. Female cat do not want to be pregnant many times because she feels pain during intercourse

It's safe for a cat to get pregnant too many times, but I don't know what the exact number is. After a while, her body can't take it anymore.
