No. Any cat over one year of age(that is a female) can have kittens.
What do you do if your cat has a kitten too early?
Take your cat and kittens to the Vet.
A cat was born on March 28 2008 she had her kittens on March 14 2009 and her kittens died why did the kittens died if they are really fat and healthy could this be because the cat is not 1 year yet?
Your cat could have something wrong with her or the kittens. Tiny kittens are very fragile beings, so even a case of fleas or worms (this could explain a swollen belly) can kill them very quickly. It could be the kittens were too cold, or some other medical problem. The mother cat was 1 year old, which could be a factor but unlikely in this case. Sorry bout the kittens may they Rest In Peace.
If your cat had kittens 6 weeks ago are they meant to lose weight?
Kittens no and mother of the kittens no. The Cat should way more than usual because she is still nursing her kittens so the kittens can gain weight and grow :) Hope your new additions arent too much of a handfull
Mother cat and the kittens have diarrhea?
At one time or another every cat has a bout of vomiting or diarrhea. Usually they have eaten something disagreeable, eaten too much or too fast, are overly excited or nervous, have hairballs, or their body is reacting to any of a number of other non-serious conditions. however if both mother cat and kittens have had it for more than a day especially if they are also not eating very well, in many cases kittens have passed on due to lack of hydration or had to be ''put down'' by the vet as there is nothing they can do. if your cat/kittens does have vomiting and diarrhoea happen then you should immediately take the mother cat and the kittens to do vet, they will give the kittens antibiotics for 3 days to keep their temperature normal and also give wormers for the mother cat and whatever you do, do not this the problem is temporary and will cure itself. A Adult cat has the immune system to survive fevers and high temperatures but kittens do not especially if they are under 10 weeks old
Why do kittens die after a week old?
Not all kittens die that early on. If the kitten hasnt got a mother or a owner looking after it that may be the reason why. It may not be getting enough to eat or if it's a outdoor cat it may be too cold.
How long should kittens be drinking from the mother?
4 weeks is the absolute MINIMUM you can ween a cat. This is only suggested if mother is sick, her milk has dried up, or if the kitten is being pushed out. Any time before then, a cat will need to be bottle/tube fed. Typically, the best time to ween a cat is about 8 weeks. If you do it too early or too late and the cat could develop a fixation on nursing. This could cause it to nurse on other animals, like dogs, or on blankets or fingers. It's a BAD thing. It's cute, but there's a lot of drool and it gets old very fast.
How can you help mother cat with too many kittens?
Leave it alone soon they will get the picture I have had several cats/kittens so I have been through this many times. Sometimes you can bottle cat milk, but most likely the cat will have to put up with it until the kittens are ready.
Can kittens die if they are giving birth?
Yes if the baby is too big. Please Please Please get your cat/kitten spayed. as this helps prevent lots of unwanted kittens and it can stop your cat from getting some cancers aswell.
Can you touch your kittens at 1 week old?
Yes, if mama cat is comfortable witgh you, there shouldn't be a problem touching the kittens. But don't forget, 1 week old kitten haven't opened their eyes yet so they need their mother very much, so try to handle them too much.
How soon after a litter of kittens should a cat have another litter of kittens?
About 4 to 6 months. A mother cat will have a litter and about 3 months later will go into heat and get pregnant. Two months later she will have another litter. A mother cat shouldn't have too many litters in her life it will wear her down and the stress could kill her.
