pregenant cat

my cat had first litter but thay all died,could someone tell me how long i should leave it to breed her again many thanks.

Depends why they died. I would check with your vet whether there was any particular health reason with the female, or whether it was something to do with the environment, but personally if the litter died I would be reluctant to breed another from the same cat. Unless it is a purebred, in which case I would contact the breeder, I would not breed anyway, as there are far too many kittens in rescue homes and being put down because there are into enough homes for them.

I agree with lankeela. How old is the cat, fastboy?

Ah, so she's a pedigree. Well, I guess you should have her checked over by the vet ( you probably have already, I hope, after her pregnancy.) I think she may have been a bit too young - she's still only a kitten herself at 14 months. Let her mature a bit more. Even though she is capable of having kittens at this age, I think you should wait a bit (you can't be that desperate for the money, can you?) - it's a bit like humans, a girl of 11 may be capable of having a baby, but she won't make the best mum on the planet at that age and it certainly won't do her young body any favours. Think about your little cat in the same way and please don't use her as a breeding factory. Speak to your vet as well.

hi ther thanks for your advice,we do not wish to use her as a breeding factory.i think you will find that there is not much money to be made from breeding pedigree cats. speak to people who have bred pedigree cats for many years.we have one oueen and one stud who live in the house with us spoilt rotten.i was thinking to breed her more to the end year and wanted to no what was safest for her that was all.we intend to let her have 2 litters only.so i think you are barking up wrong tree as regards breeding factory and money making.
