Hi everyone, I'm fostering a very young mom and her 3 kittens who will be 7 weeks old on Sunday. I got them when they were 2 weeks old and they are all scheduled to get spayed and vaccinated around the 20th of September.
The mama, Marshmallow, is very clearly in heat! It seems to have only really kickstarted today. She won't stop meowing and rubbing up on everything and her butt is constantly in the air.
She has 1 male kitten and she keeps positioning herself in front of him.. it's quite upsetting to watch lol He isn't even 7 weeks old yet... This feels dumb to ask but, there's no way he could get her pregnant, right? I thought kittens wouldn't get this urge until about 4-5 months of age.
I've fostered a mom and her babies before but that mom either didn't go into heat before getting spayed or just wasn't as obvious. She still nurses them although only once a day on average, they are mostly on wet food.
I don't need to separate them, do I? Is there any risk at all? She literally will not stop meowing, will it be like this until she gets spayed in 3 weeks?
