I brought my queen and stud inside the house a couple of weeks ago and I did witness them breeding although my queen was not too coopertive. I do know that the male did penetrate because I seen it (not sure what the proper wording for that is-lol) However, my queen looks like she's way further along then only a couple of weeks. I did have them together for some time before I brought them in.
My queens stomach is getting large and im seeing bumps (like the babies are moving just a bit and it really looks like she's at least halfway through her pregnancy. She does have pinking up but she's had previous litters so that's not a really good indictaion because the nipples never really go down all of the way.
My question to you all is, have you ever had a pregnant queen that a stud will still breed with? She wasn't too coopertaive but wasn't fighting him off either.

Yes, I've seen it happen. I have a pregnant queen whi should give birth any day now and she and the stud are trying to breed, well I guess it's mostly the stud who tries and the queen isn't very cooperative, but the answer to your question is yes. Even when pregnant cats can try to breed.

Isn't that like superestrus? I think... Or what happens is she will end up with 2 litters which can be bad as the second litter will be to young to be born when labor comes.

A pregnant female can't get pregnant again during the pregnancy so to speak.

That can happen if she is at the beginning of her preganacy but im talking it looks like she is at least halfway through so she wouldn't able to get pregnant with another set if she's that far along.

Hey thanks for the info. Do you know if the male was able to uhhh...hmmmm..penetrate the female in the case of your cats? Sorry to be so graphic but don't know any other way to ask.

No, I don't think so. Both me and my boyfriend have been quick at getting him off the queens back and they haven't been allowed to be together on their own. And like I said, the female isn't overly excited about his attempts to breed. She's on day 62 now so when he tries now she smacks him quite good in his face
