Hi,
I'm very concerned about my young cat. I have 2 young cats that we don't know if they are brother and sister or not. We got them from an old farmer that "doesnt believe in getting their cats fixed", We got them at a few months old and have tried for over 2 mos. now to get an appointment to get them fixed. they are approx. 8mos. old now and I have been worried that my female would get bred before I could get her to the vet. Well I think my fears are now realized
, i noticed 2 weeks ago that I could see that her nipples were getting larger, and now she has a large potbelly. She has been wormed and is eating the same as always so I suspect that I didnt see that she was in heat and she got bred immediately upon her first heat cycle. Of course now that it has taken me some 2 months to get the appointment we finnally have one for this saturday but now i think she is bred. Im very worried as I remember when I was a child that we had a female that was just 6 mos old and she got bred and lost all the kittens. What are the chances of my young cat having a successful pregancy. I did not want her to have kittens at this young age and really not at all, I think there are already so many out there that dont have homes. So any way, what is your advise? Am I worried about nothing? what has your experience been as far as the success rate of young cats having living kittens.
thanks.
