In general, how soon after giving birth do your cats go back into heat? Just a general range of time, I'm sure it's different for every cat. Thanks!

Well, this does depend on the Queen, but estrus can occur ANYTIME while she is still nursing, soooo it could be a week or (which is more likely), about 6-7 weeks. Thing is, that you never know, so if you have a girl with kittens, and don't want anymore, make sure she isn't anywhere near a tom until you can have her fixed.
