Hi I recently adopted (rescued) a young mother cat and her son who is about 3 months. The previous owner informed me that the cat (unspayed) had been in heat (had been yowling all night) so let her out two days during her "heat cycle". (unsure if it was heat as she only mentioned marked behaviour was the vocalizations) She said once for about 4 hours and then again for about 12.. She said she noticed a male cat following her on her way home one of the days in the backyard, but the female showed very little interest and ran inside when she opened the door. The yowling continued in the days after she was permitted access to outdoors. I am wondering how likely it is that she is pregnant? Would she continue to call out if she had mated? Don't most people neuteur their male cats? She is still occasionally breastfeeding the kitten so it will be difficult to determine the nipple changes as her nipples are already prominent. Anybody have any experience with cats in heat getting outside and not falling pregnant?
I do intend to spay the mum but will not book the appointment if it is likely she is pregnant, and I am prepared to accomodate for all kittens if I cannot find suitable homes..
Thank you for your time!
