Question
How long is a Cat/Kitten pregnant for. and will she be developed enough to have kittens herself she's a kitten.  

Answer
Hi Gillian, Thank you for the question. A cats gestation is 9 weeks (63-66 days) If your cat is just a kitten and she just got bred you can still get her spayed ! Once she is past 2 weeks along in her pregnancy it is not a good idea but previous to that it is a GOOD idea. If she is just a kitten and got bred she will be developed enough to carry the kittens to term. Mother nature works those things out! BUT she may not be mature enough to care for the kittens and may abandon them or just not take very good care of them and you may have to help the kittens if they are to survive. Teresa
