I had posted a couple weeks ago or so about a I thought 6 month old kitten had found me and in heat!!! Everyone said take her in so I did and she is the cutest kitty. Everyone was afraid with her being in heat she'd get pregnant she was very clean no fleas or ticks and extremely friendly. Well I had her spayed yesterday and when I went to pick her up they said she was pregnant almost 40 days or more. I almost past out. I have had cats my whole life. She was very thin and yet the Vet said she was about a year old on top of that. I found that shocking as she is so little no tartar on her teeth and seems not all her teeth are in. What I do not get is how a cat can still be in heat with that crouching position and be pregnant?? They took the babies and I am so upset for the cat "they took her kids". I can cry just thinking of it. Its like a human abortion. BUT!! I suppose they had to. Do cats know their kids are gone?? This is a tough pill to swallow. But she would have had these kittens in the wild if she could not find a home before me and the coyotes, bobcats, foxes and whatever else is around here would have gotten to them. I love this cat and hopefully she'll find solace with her new brothers that are here in the house(my older cats).
