You need to keep momma in the house when she comes time. It is best if you keep her indoors now, until the kittens are weaned, and in homes. She needs to have the kittens indoors, because there are too many things in the wild that can kill them. If she delivers outside, chances are... they will stay outside. So, it's best if you keep her in.Originally Posted by jelani
Alright my cat princess is an outdoor cat...She was not spayed..She is now pregnant..is it safe to deliver outside? What if i'm not around when she delivers?Do kittens have to live inside?
well said! i grew up on my grandmother's farm she had a farm cat who was forever pregnant and when it came time she always brought the cat inside and made it a cozy spot in the linen closet, outside is not a safe place for babies!Originally Posted by gayef
It is absolutely NOT safe for her to deliver outside! Predators, the elements, and disease could kill the babies and the mother! Get her indoors, keep her indoors and allow the kittens to be born in a clean, warm, comfortable nest. Once they are at age 12 weeks or so and you have found good homes for them, spay your girl and do not let her back outside until you do have her spayed or you will end up with more kittens.
