This depends on the Queen. Some cats will be back on heat immediately after and others will not come back on call for weeks afterwards. This is why it is ideal to spay the mother cat as soon as the kittens are weaned, or kept indoors and away from any male cats to prevent her getting pregnant immediately afterwards. It is cruel and detrimental to the female's health if she is allowed to carry another litter straight after the last one; she would have no chance of resting and recovering from the last litter. A queen will need "time off" to get her weight and strength back up.

Yes, it is possible. I had a cat that did just that. We thought it was over, and sure enough the next day she had one more. A CAT can do whatever she darn-well FEELS like doing. She is a CAT, remember, speaking of which, do you know th difference between having a DOG for a Pet and a CAT for a Pet? To a DOG, you're "family;" to a CAT, you're "Staff." YOUR job is to feed and pet your Kitty and otherwise mind your own business. Your cat's job is to be a CAT.

Yes, in fact, cats can have many litters of kittens.

In fact, a cat in England once had more than 85 litters!

In case you did not know, the group of kits a She-Cat has is called a "litter".

The cat can have as many litters of kittens as long as she lives. The only reason a female cat cannot have kittens is when she gets "fixed". This is the process of removing the cat's ovaries, also called "spaying". Males can also get fixed, too. The vet removes the male's "parts". This is called neutering.

How far apart can a cat deliver kittens?

In a typical cat labor, kittens are born anywhere from half an hour to an hour apart. If a mother has hard contractions for more than an hour and a kitten is not born, medical intervention is probably necessary. However, there have been instances of some cats taking a few days to fully deliver their litter.


Can you touch kittens when they are 2 weeks old?

Yes, and this can help to socialize them to the smell and touch of humans. However, you should be very careful - the mother cat may not like you touching her kittens, and the kittens will be very fragile so you have to be very gentle. You should also limit your time touching the kittens to when the mother is nursing them so you don't interrupt their sleep - newborn kittens sleep the vast majority of the day.


How long does it take for a kitten to open its eyes?

Newborn kittens generally open their eyes in 10 to 14 days. As far as raising new born kittens the mother generally does all the work. They are very particular about caring for their babies and you shouldn't touch them really at all for about five days at least. This may sound strange but the mother cats take care of their kittens on their own and need little help from humans. They could possibly choose not to care for the kittens if they are bothered to much. Kittens are very delicate and the germs from human hands could cause their eyes to mat up and not ever open. As I said before they are delicate and for the most part your mother cat will know what to do and your kittens should be just fine. Hope this helps.


What is the lifecycle of an ocelot?

The ocelot mates year-round. About 70 days after mating the female gives birth to one to three young. The female makes a den in the brush. She leaves the kittens at night to hunt for food, but she spends the day with them. The kittens begin hunting with their mother when they are about three months old. The kittens may stay with the mother for up to a year. By: Waddy Htun Naing


How long after kittens are born will the mommy come out and eat?

The mother cat will be very tired at first. We live on a farm and have lots of cats and our mother cats will usually stay with the kittens for maybe a day or two then come out for food and then quickly get back to the babies. Don't worry. Healthy cats can survive a couple days without food.

How old is a rabbit when it gets fur?

When could you give away baby kittens?

Let the mother cat look after the kittens for a few days. Just keep an eye on them and make sure she's feeding them, grooming them and caring for them. After a few days, maybe eight days, since they should open their eyes after eight days, only you should touch them. Limit the amount of visitors and make sure the cat and her kittens are somewhere quiet, where they won't be disturbed. Don't touch the kittens much and make sure they only look at their mother as their mother. If the kittens start following you or mewling for you, don't go near them for a while. Once the kittens are wandering about on their own, they should be okay to be properly handled.
