yes, a cat can have as many fathers as they have kittens, but having 2-3 is most common in a cat that has been bred multiple times.
If you look at it from a scientific perspective, there are only so many ways that the genes can combine with the parents. But if you look at the average strays, and the variety in the litters, you would see that from a genetic perspective, there is no possible way they were parented by two animals, but would have required more than one father.
I have taken the time and done this for a number of the felines that I had / have, and have been able to successfully guess a high percentage of what the kittens color would be based off which fathers the female was bred with. In most cases it would have been impossible genetically to to produce the litters that were born with one father.
Yes, as long as their partners use condoms.
If the cat was recently pregnant you can look at the uterine horns for signs of involution (longitudinal stria on the outside of the uterus, signs of tisue sloughing on the uterine lining). However, if you have an older cat it will be difficult to tell if the cat had been pregnant at one point or has just gone through multiple heat cycles as both increase the size of the uterine arteries and the uterus itself.
No, a cat did not jump on my pregnant belly.
Yes, I've have had a cat that purred while she was pregnant.
No, a cat will not go into heat if she is already pregnant.
Yes. In fact, that is the only time that a cat can get pregnant.
Human normally have single births from a pregnancy, whereas the expanded uterus in cats facilitates multiple births. if your cat is pregnant, the uterus will be greatly enlarged and you may find many fetuses inside.
Pets do not typically mate for life. They may have multiple partners throughout their lifetime.
Yes, a female dog can have puppies from different fathers in a single litter, a phenomenon known as superfecundation. This can occur if the female dog mates with multiple male dogs within a short period of time and produces eggs that are fertilized by sperm from different males.
Not directly; you don't get one kitten, or two kittens, from each partner. But a cat who has multiple partners in one cycle will likely have more kittens, as eggs don't ripen all at once; the later partner may fertilize eggs that were not ready to be fertilized when the earlier partner's sperm was active.
if you have sex with multiple partners(assuming not all of them are "shooting blanks") then yes otherwise if he is shooting blanks there wont be any baby batter for the love canal
A cat is able to get pregnant as early as 4 months of age.
