Is there a sign of when a mother cat will have her babies. I have one and she is as big as a house and her babies have been moving around a lot lately but her milk has not dropped. Does anyone have any advice? Thank you!

12 weeks is a minimum for me, 16 weeks is really best. The longer the babies are with their mom, the better socialized the kittens are. Six to eight weeks will result in behavioral problems, I cringe when I see people getting rid of kittens that young. If *you* allow her to get pregnant, *you* need to keep those kittens till a minimum of 12 weeks of age. Before then it is totally irresponsible.Originally posted by Dixie
?? 12 Weeks? That is way too long... My mom used to breed persians and we always gave them away at 6to8 weeks... Yes, I'm going to get her spayed.... I hate to do that - it seems like I am taking away her right to be a mother but I'm going to do it anyway... Thanks for replying...

First let me say *I* did not let her get pregnant. I believe I mentioned that she was a stray and I was at first just feeding her because I felt sorry for her. She was so skinny. As far as I know *she* could have been pregnant when I found her..... Please read the posts from the beginning if you want to accuse *anyone* of *anything*...
