Question
I have a cat who is 7 mths old! I have notice a few cats around my home! i have also notice my cat geeting a bigger belly and her nipples have come up a bit. Shes got no milk coming out. I dont know wether im being silly! Is she too young? What should i do next? What is best for her?

Answer
Kelly,

I have a neighbor who's poor 'kitten' had kittens at 5 mos old! Yes, she sounds pregnant. Most cats who get spayed at this time of the year ARE pregnant.

If you don't want kittens, or to take the chance of heartbreak from a young first time mother who doesn't know how or want to take care of her newborn kittens then I would get her spayed NOW. You will have a settled, happier, healthier, and more loving cat if you do.

If you need it, here is a link for nationwide low-cost or free spay and neuter clinics in the US:

I hope this answered your question.
