Can My Cat Be Pregnant And Still Be In Heat

[Jasmine Rand]

My cat Molly has been in heat and my parents think she's pregnant again. Could she be pregnant and still in heat?

 

[Sarthur2]

Yes, it's possible, but not usual. Pregnancy hormones can mimic heat symptoms.

How far along do they think her pregnancy is?

 

[Jasmine Rand]

She just had kittens 8 weeks ago. And I'm not sure about how far along she could be. I'm really hoping she's not pregnant again

 

[Sarthur2]

Oh no! Back to back pregnancies are very hard on cats.

Lactating cats must be kept inside at all times and away from intact males until they are spayed.

Why not go ahead and spay her now? Can you do that?

I'm waiting to hear from the Barrie spca it's too much money. I'm only a student so I don't Make enough every 2 weeks to go get her fixed
