Just wondering. The usual farm cat wisdom says that cats are never pregnant between September-January. That all females get pregnant in Jan or Feb, and some get pg again in July or Aug.
Anyway...I was just wondering if there's any truth to that, in your experience (this is a temperate zone, with very cold winters, so I'm sure it's different in tropical areas). I'm taking a bunch of cats to a low-cost spay/neuter clinic this Wed, and some of the females look a bit...chubby. Now some of the males look chubby, too, because of putting on winter weight, so that could be the cause. Of course it doesn't really matter if they are pregnant; they'll be spayed anyway, it can't be helped, but I'd be much happier if we don't end up with any spay/aborts.
So, think they're pregnant? Some opinions please.
