Cat pregnancy and miscarriage

14:22:33

Question
All day today i was sure my cat is pregnant. Though 2 hours have passed and now she seems smaller though still appears pregnant. She has had a discharge all day but it was not foul-smelling. And now the resident male cat is acting as if he wants to mate her again. My cat is 11 years old is it possible for her to give birth to healthy kittens and if she aborted any can she still give birth to others not aborted?

Answer
Hi Cheryl,

Sorry it took so long for me to get back to you. I had the flu. She can abort some and still give birth to healthy kits. But it sounds like she was just getting ready to go into labor. Watch out for that male. He may try to kill the kits so she will go into heat again. Hope all went well. Good luck and take care.

Ciao, Karen
