This is Stormfur


This is him again. Closer than he has ever came to me before.


This is leafpool. Our beautiful striped kitten.


Her in one of the beds.


This is Wisteria. This is our mystery kitty. I know this sounds impossible but.... Its a He She. a cat both male and female.

Wisteria has a ball sack. Making it a him but the kittens suckle on Wisteria making it a her.


((Sorry its night time)) The bigger cat is a male. He looks like leafpool and Wisteria looks like Stormfur. So i was thinking that was the family. And she just got knocked up by the same cat.

But my saddest conclusion was that she had a still birth and the kittens are just using her milk

She doesnt look preggo but i may be wrong. Someone please help me out here.

Also!! I am very aware that the kittens in the picture arent new. They are about 8-12 weeks old.

P.S She does buldge from the side but i havent seen tits on her. But the kittens were 100% suckling.

P.S.S yes, they are strays but i actually have pet stormfur but it was only a few strokes on the head. So they are pretty good with the accompany of people.

Well, I can think of 2 things.

1.) it's a female and the "ball sack" is some kind of abnormal swelling :/.

or

2.) it's a male and he's letting the babies suckle for comfort. Some males are babysitters like that.

But of course, no matter which gender the gray kitty is, if you don't figure out some way to get them all fixed, you're going to be up to your ears in kitties pretty soon!

Alright awesome!! Thats ecactly what i wanted to know!

I think that it may be the first option. If it is an abnormal swelling will that affect kittesn that she may be carrying? And we are goingto get them all trappedand taken to petco where they will be fixed and given propper vet care and bathing.
But sadly enough it may take a while to get them all taken care of because we live in apartments so theyroam but thankfully we are the "home base" @Willowy

So, did the gray cat give birth to the kittens? I'm quite confused here. Some male cats with allow kittens to "nurse" on them, I have a friend who rescues kittens from the shelter and she has an old male cat who will cuddle up with the kittens and they'll "nurse" from him, in fact, my friend just had to take said cat to the vet because her newest litter of 5 week old rescues had suckled a couple of her older males nipples raw lol.

Tomcats will also mount other tomcats, to my understanding, it's a dominance thing.

I'm pretty sure I've never learn of a cat being both sexes and if it was, I don't think it'd be possible for one to get pregnant.

Be aware that Petco doesn't take in cats. They do provide an adoption section to cat rescue groups but you need to contact the actual rescue group. Wouldn't want you to go to all the trouble of catching the kitties and taking them to Petco only to have to take them back home again. I suppose it's possible that your local Petco may allow a rescue to use their store for intake but definitely talk to them first to confirm that.

It's spring, which means kitten season, so if you don't at least get the females taken care of very soon there will be a LOT more kitties you'll have to deal with :/. Girl kittens can get pregnant at 4 months so they'll be having babies along with the older mama cats.
