Why won't my cat have kittens? Shes in heat right now and I have another male cat.

Question

I have to cats. Miley (girl) and Moe (the male) Why won't they have kittens? At first I thought they were to young but they can get prego as early as 4 months. Moe is 8 months and Miley is maybe a week away from 8 months. If shes in heat, then why isnt she trying to get pregnant.

Also, they get locked in this room (cats room) at night time and are outside during day, so she has PLENTY of time to do with other cats also.

Whats goin on?

Answer 1

Why would you want her to get pregnant?  She's too young and it can have serious health consequences for her.  There are SO many unwanted kittens out there that need adoption, why add to them?  Get her spayed, and get the male neutered....if you have the room and money to feed and vet more cats, then go to the SPCA and adopt, but please don't add to the population.

To actually answer your question, they may be too young to know what to do, and haven't matured enough.  Just because a 10-12 year old human girl has her period, does that mean she knows what to do and why?  A cat being in heat, is the same a human female getting her period - think of it that way.

Answer 2

Why are you trying to breed her? Why not be a responsible pet parent and get your animals spayed/neutered?

Have you been to your local shelter lately and seen the abundance of kittens available (more kittens than there are HOMES for?)

Plus, allowing your cat to be bred at 8 months old......is like allowing your 12 yr old daughter to get pregnant. Just because they CAN get pregnant, doesn't mean they SHOULD.

Answer 3

Stupid is as Stupid does.....

Answer 4

Plain plain stupid Idiot!!!!! you do NOT need your cat to get pregnant!!!!!!!!! And maby there's a reason why she does not get breed!ever think about that.and I hope your planing on keeping all the kittens!!!!!!!  

Answer 5

Why not be part of the solution instead of the problem have her spayed.  I am currently fostering 2 litters of kittens because they were dumped by someone !!! and our rescue is totally full...BE RESPONSIBLE SPAY HER AND NEUTER HIM

Answer 6

What's going on with you?  I am just about banging my head against the wall with this question.  Why on earth do you want a cat who is still a kitten to become pregnant?  This is very dangerous for her.

Be responsible and have both cats neutered immediately.  The world is already overrun with unwanted cats and kittens.  There is nothing warm and fuzzy about a homeless kitten.

  

Answer 7

YOU DON'T NEED KITTENS.

have your cat spayed.

There are too many cats out there now...

If you go to the animal shelter you will see how many kittens they kill each and every day...

If she has 6 kittens then YOU MUST FIND HOMES FOR 6 CATS!

HAVE HER SPAYED AND THE MALE NEUTERED...

BE RESONSIBLE!  

Answer 8

this is just too insanely idiotic to even go into...

Answer 9

get your cats spayed/neutered and go to your local shelter and adopt a kitten.  it is VERY irresponciable what you are doing and I hope that they are smart enough to know better.
