Hello all. My vet tells me that a cat, like a human, can become pregnant until it is a senior. (??) He said a cat is considered a senior until she is 9 years old. I told him I thought it was 7. Maybe time to change vets? I’m also curious if an outdoor cat will roam off to make her nest when preparing for a litter. I know how long they are pregnant for and when you are able to see the signs but I’m not really sure what the oldest age is for a cat not to be able to become pregnant? Searched the internet but came up with nothing. Thanks a bunch!
Sorry, forgot to mention….this is a neighborhood stray cat I am told. I started to feed her only after I found out for sure that she was a stray. She was pretty thin and gained a few only after I started to feed her. Got hold of her only once to take her to the vet but she got away. Wild cats I hear are like that. I was told she had been around the neighborhood for at least the past five years. I did and do want to have her spayed but the last few days, I haven’t seen her. Just wanted to try and help the poor thing. A neighbor said he noticed the cat had recently grew a chubby lil’ belly. Just wasn’t and still not sure if she is indeed pregnant. Hope not but if I find her, I will be sure and take good care of her as I have so many others.

My neighbors are adopting two of my cats because we have too many. They don’t live to close, so the cats probably won’t come back to my house. What should I request to my neighbors to help the cats adjust? Should they keep them in a room for a few days or something like that?

What does it mean when a newborn kitten secrets both green & white goobers from its vaginal area? its only 8days old. I work at a vet office and I have this kitty cuz it needed to be bottle fed. We have an adoption program but unfortunately the doctor doesn’t care to help me because they lose money and would rather have put them to sleep since they were so young. so now since my vet is letting me down i need advice on what is wrong with my kitty. has anyone had a simalar incident? I’m afraid to lose this little one since her sister died a few days ago after bleeding from the anus.
