In like two seconds. My friends cat had kittens and a month later we noticed a change in her belly again, sure enough she was preggo.

First of all you need to stop the kitten from nursing he is way over 8 weeks old & doesn't need to nurse anymore!!!
As for when your female will become pregnant again. Sometimes it can happen fast but if you want to do it right you need to stop the nursing with the kitten then let the mother's milk dry up & then most likely in a couple of weeks or so she would come into heat again therfor attracting males which in turn would enpregnate her again. But I warn you that if you are not careful you can kill your female cat by letting her get pregnant too soon & not giving her enough time to recouperate & gain her weight back that she lost during the nursing period.

A 14 week old cat should NOT be nursing.
And, don't breed her again. Its sad. I just read another answer where a guy said his daughter found a bag of three kittens thrown out on the road. One was flattened and the other two were LUCKY to find a loving home. Please don't let her have another litter that could possibly NOT find good homes.
That makes me so angry when animals are abandoned. :(

They don't have to stop nursing to get pregnant again. Listen to the other people who are trying to tell you that you are not doing the right thing by breeding this cat again, and CERTAINLY not right away.
PLEASE STOP contributing to the pet overpopulation that results in 10 MILLION cats & dogs being euthanized every year.
Be a responsible pet owner and enjoy the kitties you have.

Why do you want her to have another litter if you gave most of the first litter away? If your friends and family want kittens, give them a ride to the local shelter- there are plenty of kittens there that need homes- you don't need to use your pet as a breeder to supply the neighborhood.

how would you like to pop out 4-8 babies, then 2 or 3 months later pop out another liter? Your cat wont live a very long life if you keep that up...she needs to recouperate.

Why on earth would you want to breed her again!!! Are you unaware of the pet overpopulation problem...you and unresponsible pet owners like you are the cause of millions of animals being put to sleep each year in shelters everywhere. Spay your cat, or give it to owners that care, and will get her spayed.
