Is it safe to keep the first litter of kittens with the second litter of kittens?
It would depend on how far apart the litters were born. If they were born fairly close together, it might be okay. Otherwise, no. The younger kittens could not handle the roughhousing the older kittens are used to.

Should you keep one kitten from a litter to be its mothers companion?
It isn't necessary to keep any kittens from the litter. While vets do recommend having more than one cat, it does not need to be one of your cat's kittens. Once the kitten is weaned, it is ready to be adopted out. A cat will also never miss "motherhood" so don't feel bad about spaying your cat.
Do you change the kittens litter everyday?
It's a good idea, to keep down odor. You wouldn't like to 'go' in a toilet that is never flushed regularly, so why wouldn't we clean litter boxes at least every 1 to 2 days.

Why do male cats kill kittens?
Answer:Many male cats will not kill kittens. This is in fact uncommon behaviour. It is far more common for a male cat to accept the kittens, or at the very worst give them a wide birth.Answer:Male cats feel jealous because his mate (the mother cat) is spending more time with the kittens so to be the star again he gets rid of the kittens.Answer:Some males will kill kittens that are not his, so that the female will come into heat again and he can father a litter, thereby passing on his own genes.They can do but not if you keep them SAFE when there growing up. My male cat was fine with our kittens and they were not his.

Bring your cat into your house while she's pregnant and keep her in there until she gives birth and the kittens grow up.
Why to not spay cats?
If you spay your cat, you are making sure your cat doesn't have kittens. If you want kittens to sell or give away to people, or just keep at home, then don't spay your female cat. Birth is a very exciting thing, and you'll have mini-copies of your cat running around the house! :) If you want kittens, make sure not to spay your cat. But females can only get spayed. When boy kitties can't have kittens, they are neutered. It takes a male and a female cat to have kittens. But when there are kittens, make sure the male stays away, maybe in the other part of the house, or in a big dog excercise pen, or somewhere where he can't get to the kittens. Or he'll kill them to be with his mate, the female cat. Good luck with your kittens!
How many weeks until it is safe for a cat to get pregnant after she had kittens?
Responsible breeders usually give their breeding Queens a year's rest after having a litter. Pregnancy and nursing kittens until they are 12 - 14 weeks old puts great strain on the mother. A year ensures the Queen fully recovers and remains in optimum health and overall condition; it is very dangerous to let a tired or unhealthy female cat produce a litter. Depending on the health of the cat, and how often she is allowed to breed, the risk of losing both mother and kittens due to complications can be high. If you are not a breeder, or you think you cannot keep your female cat inside and away from intact male cats for an entire year, it is highly recommended that you spay her as soon as possible.
If i have 2 boxers and 2 bengals can they both mate and can i keep there puppies and kittens and raise them myself?
If you have 2 boxers and 2 Bengals, they can both mate as long as you have one male boxer, and one female boxer, and one female Bengal and one male Bengal, that are not related to one another. You can keep their puppies and kittens and raise them yourself, however it is a lot of work to take care of puppies and kittens. There are also many puppies and kittens looking for homes so its not really a good idea to breed your pets.
