cat mating

Question
My Ragdoll went to stud last week and was succesfully mated, however i think she has come into call again today. She is not the most obvious cat on call - and we thought she was when we took her last week. Is it too early to get her scanned? Or should we travel another 8 hours to take her to the stud again?

Answer
Hi Zoe

It is unusual for a cat to call a week after being at stud.  I see that you say the mating was successful so in that case I would wait for the 21-28 days to see if you have the obvious signs of pregnancy such as enlarged and pink teats.

Sometimes cats can have a 'breakthrough' call even though they are pregnant though a week after mating is really a tad too soon and she could actually just be being vocal for some reason.
