My cat is pregnant, I know she is because I've felt the kittens moving inside her but her milk is not filling up. Her first kitten is still nursing so i don't know if that is what is messing things up. someone please give me some advice, I need it.

Her kitten is almost almost 4 months old and the vet said as long as it does agitate the mother that it is fine because he is eating hard food too. And by the by I take care of all my animals wanted or not.

The mother cat just showed up when i moved in and she was already pregnant and had the other kitten, we guess she either only had one from that litter or the others are dead. The cat is sweet and i plan to get her fixed after this litter.

Your cat will not get her 'milk' until the babies are born ... then she'll have plenty, if she's giving birth to a normal litter. She should NOT still be nursing a 'previous' kitten, but that should be 'left alone' now, and when she weans the new babies be sure that she also weans the 'older kitten.'
The one thing that 'worries me' about your situation is this 'older kitten' she's still nursing ... and the fact that your cat could get pregnant while still nursing any kittens from a previous litter. Normally, if a cat is 'nursing' it can't get pregnant ... nor should it. If you have an 'extremely sexually active cat' I think that you should consider getting her 'spayed' ... not just to 'limit the unwanted new kittens' in the world, but to HELP YOUR CAT'S HEALTH! Being pregnant and nursing kittens is very HARD on her body, especially on her bones, and with these two 'litters' so close together, you should feed her a good EXTRA HIGH CALCIUM cat food starting NOW and going until 6 weeks after the kittens are WEANED. It will be 'expensive' and you should get her a 'really good brand' like Royal Canin (available only a good pet stores), but it is for your cat's good health as well as the 'good health' of the kittens. Good luck with your 'houseful of fun' ...

I don't think the first kitty is going to pose a problem of the milk issue. A cat's milk ususally comes in when the litter is born. Try to wean the first kitty if you can. My cat had a litter of kittens and her "son" from a previous litter that was about a year old nursed from her when her new babies were born.
Good luck with the new babies!!

My advice is SPAY YOUR CAT.
her milk is not filling up but yet she has a nursing kitten? this poor cat.
Are you aware that every year 2 million kittens are euthanized because more are born than there are homes for? That even if you find homes for these kittens it means some other kittens did not.
The stress to her body on having back to back litters is terrible, every litter and every heat cycle is a risk to her own health. (cancers etc)
please do this cat a favor and spay her.

They sell tiny bottles for feeding kittens. If she is too young to eat food or milk yet. Go to your vet and they can give you the things you need to feed the kitten properly. And try to keep mom from getting pregnant again...her little body needs a break too.

i dont think your kitten is messing up your cats milk maybe its just not time for that to happen yet give it some time and if your kitten is nursing from this cat then your cat obviously has milk lol

how long ago has it been since she had her first kitten? as if she hasnt had any more they will die inside her you must seek vet help and get her spayed to prevent anymore unwanted kittens in the workd unless you can guarantee they will be looked after for the next 15 or so years.

The milk won't necessarily "fill up" like when she was pregnant before as she is suckling a kitten already. The milk should keep flowing after she has the new kittens.
And please get her fixed after this batch, tomcat owners are sometimes irresponsible, so it's up to you to protect your kitty's wellbeing.

They dont fill up until they give birth. You should not keep letting her get pregnant so often (actually not at all) as it's not healthy for her at all. Take your cat to the vet for care..that's what they are there for.
