NO! You have to spay or neuter your cat.
A female cat is fertile its entire life. Spay your cat to stop it from going into heat in the future.
It is recommended to spay a mother cat when the kittens are weaned, but be sure to check when your vet is most comfortable to spay her. The spay will not cause her to behave any differently to her kittens, but is advised to wait until the kittens are on solid food as the procedure can disrupt, or even stop, milk flow.
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!
It is possible and quite common to spay a pregnant cat. Your vet will quite happily do this and therefore, terminate the pregnancy (obviously if she is not too far gone yet)
