My female cat had her first/last litter at 8years of age. Only 3 kittens were conceived and only one made it (2 stillborns from lenghty labor). The kitten is now almost 4 months old and still nurses, in addition to eating a bit of dry food, wet food and whatever he can steal from my own plate.
Is it unhealthy for the mommy or the kitten to still nurse at that age?
I was waiting for him to stop nursing before having her spayed. If I wait another 4 weeks, is there any danger that he might get her pregnant? Lactating women don't get pregnant, do lactating female cats get heats?
Thanks for your imput!
