My kittens 4 months. When can I bread her?

Question

She's so cute and fluffy! My friend has a boy cat and when is she old enough make pregnent? I want kittns and Will they be striped like her or black like the daddy cat?

Answer 1

Never!

Answer 2

Please reconsider this.  The most responsible thing you can do as a pet owner is to have her spayed.  It is very difficult to find good homes for kittens...sure everyone wants a kitten but they grow up and need vet care, altering etc.  Be part of the solution not the problem.  Enjoy your cat and if you want to witness the miracle of a cat birth you tube it.

Answer 3

Don't do this. Millions of pets are euthanized every year because no one will adopt them because they go for purebreds or whatever. The only reason this happens is because people do not neuter or spay their cats. Get your cat to a vet and ask when you can get her spayed.

Think about all the cats that won't get homes.

Answer 4

Go to your local shelter and check out the 100s of cats in the cages waiting to be euthanized because there aren't enough homes to keep up with the overpopulation of cats. When the shelter is empty of these animals, and has not had one cat in a cage for 2 weeks, then your kitten will be old enough to have a litter of her own. Give your head a shake sweetheart and do the world a HUGE favour and have your pet spayed and have your friend's neutered.

Answer 5

Letting her have kittens will make you guilty of adding to the pet population which is so overrun right now, kittens (yes, cute, fluffy ones too), cats, puppies, and dogs are being killed by the thousands every day simply because there aren't enough homes for them. Your kitten's kittens will only add to that number. Aside from that, your kitten is much too young to have a litter. She is just a kitten herself and her body won't be ready for about another year or more. Young cats who have kittens frequently have problems with pregnancy and delivery and having a litter could cost her her life. Lots of times when kittens have kittens they don't have clue how to care for them and you could end up with orphans on your hands. It's a hard, time consuming job to care for orphaned kittens who need feeding every couple of hours and need to be cleaned, made to go to the bathroom, etc. Your best bet would be to see if you can volunteer at a shelter or go with a volunteer and see what really goes on behind those doors. Like someone mentioned, you can offer to foster kittens. That way, they get to live and you get to have kittens with no long-term commitment. Breeding your cat will most likely end in disaster so please, have her spayed and save her from the stress.

Answer 6

Why do you want to breed? There's a lot more to breeding than putting a male and a female animal together and making babies. Please don't backyard breed and add to the pet overpopulation with poorly bred animals. Please read:

Answer 7

You can bread and fry it in olive oil right now when it's still tender.  If they are older I use them in my recipe for KittyCatchatore.

Answer 8

please don't do that. i volunteer at a cat shelter and have seen first hand the over population of cats that is taking over. i have also dealt with the feral population as well. if it is kittens that you want, talk to your parents if you still live with them about fostering kittens from the shelters, that way you can have kittens, but then they get adopted to their new forever homes. this is much more humane, and will help out a few homeless kittens! please get your kitten spayed and talk to your friend about getting his cat neutered!  

Answer 9

I don't recommend you bread her deep frying or baking your pets is not recommended

If on the other hand you mean breed......There is absolutely no reason to breed a non-pedigree cat  regardless of how cute she is, when there are thousands of cute kittens dying is shelters.   If you want kittens go adopt some from a shelter.    You are also putting your cats life at risk by breeding her at all. (this is true of breeding any animal)  Please have your cat spayed.  

As far a color  basic genetics...The tabby pattern is dominate so your female could carry either 1 or 2 genes for tabby,  black is recessive to tabby so the the male carries 2 genes for non-tabby.   If your female carries 2 genes for tabby all of the kittens will be tabby, if she carries 1 gene for tabby about half will be tabby and half will be non-tabby.      As far as color black is dominate to every other color but orange and dominate white (which mask other colors), brown tabby is a black cat with the gene for tabby so assuming your cat is brown tabby (the most common color)  there is no way to tell what color the kittens will be as the base color other than not orange and not dominate white as both cats could have 1 gene for black and one for chocolate or one for dilute (the gene that makes blue and lilac cats), one for pointed or minx (similar to pointed but darker)   or any other combination.    

Regardless have your cat spayed

Answer 10

are you crazy my cat gave birth on the 1st and shes a year and at thats she was to young and im geting her spazed and your crazy whoa what are you thinking could a 4 year old give birth

Answer 11

If your cat is not a pure breed then there is no point in breeding her.  If you want another kitten when she is older discuss it with your monther and then go adopt one.

Answer 12

She's cute and fluffy?  So are the thousands of kittens that are being killed daily in shelters because there are no homes for them.  Do the responsible thing and get her spayed.  There is no reason to breed her - none - other than selfishness on your part.  If you want kittens that badly, foster a pregnant mom and her litter from the shelter.  Don't add to the numbers being put to death daily in shelters thanks to irresponsible people who don't spay and neuter.  

What is your friend going to do when that male cat gets older and starts spraying all over the house?  Male cat spray reeks, that is the only word to describe it.  He needs to be neutered before he starts to spray.  

Answer 13

I don't think you should ever bread a cat, are you frying her in hot oil after?

Did you mean breed? Don't do that either.

Answer 14

She will be physically able to have babies at about 5 months but it is very dangerous for her - that would be like an 11 year old girl having a baby.  There could be huge complications and she might not take care of the kittens properly as she will be too young to know what to do.  Many, many kittens suffer and die because people stupidly let their kittens get pregnant 9and at 4 months, she is still a kitten!)  It is a bad idea for cats to breed before the age of 2 years.

Please get her spayed.  I know the idea of little kittens is cute and tempting but it would be horribly cruel and irresponsible to purposefully breed her.  If you get her spayed now she will be healthier and happier and live longer.

Also, there is never any guarantee what the kittens will look like.  it is a total genetic c**p shoot.

Please just concentrate on loving and caring for your little one (and she is still a baby herself!) and forget about having more kittens.    

Edited to add:   I LOVE Tasha's response below!  After you get your own cat fixed, and if your parents are ok with it, volunteer to foster kittens for a local rescue group.  That way you get the fun of raising kittens and also the satisfaction of helping kitties in need as they find good homes!

Answer 15

HECK NO!!!!!

Answer 16

Firstly, at 4 months your cat has alot of growing left to do, and making her have babies will make her more likely to get sick later in life.

Second, there are TONS and TONS of unwanted kittens in shelters every day. Don't add to that.

Third, breeding a pair of cats will almost never produce kittens of the same markings and colorings as the parents, since 99% of cats folks own are in-bred mutts with dozens of color combination genes in their bodies.

Fourth, no one in their right mind pays for a kitten unless that kitten is for showing purposes and comes from a long line or cats bred for showing. Don't think that having kittens will make you any money, in fact it will COST you at least $100 dollars in extra food, newspapers, and ruined clothing...and that's not even counting vet visits and the possibility of your cat needing emergency vet care in delivery!

Don't breed your cat. Get her spayed and get your boyfriend's cat neutered.
