Re: British Shorthairs


It is impossible for the kittens to change sex over night. And this has to be a wind up as your kitten hasnt even come into season yet at the age of 12 weeks and so you shouldnt even be considering trying to breed from her.
Why would you want to contribute to an already huge problem of unwanted cats anyway? And if your vet was such a specialist in feline care, they would be advising you but as it is they cannt even get the sex of your kitten right...
If you are to become a breeder then you should atleast know about the eusterus cycles etc.

hahaha sounds as if your "specialist" needs to do some training.

Can I ask you one question, how old are you? Don't mean to upset you but you should as if you are a teenager, countless members on here have told you more than once that your kitten cannot change sex but you continue to ignore this advice or at least not even think that perhaps the so called "specialist" could have made a mistake in the first place.

Also please let us know who this "specialist" is? because tomorrow I will give them a call

I am not winding any body up. This is a fact, beleive it, or not. The First kitten, who is now a cat, and is nearly Two years old. The Second is a kitten, and both started out as a boy, and changed into a girl. Both of these are big, and strong for their age, and all I want to know is, are they fertile, or not, because of the change.

I am not winding anyone up. The First is now nearly Two years old, and the Second kitten is Four months old. Both of these are big, and strong for their age. All I want to know is if anyone has had the same with a female kitten, and are they fertile, or not.

Why does it matter how big they are?
They haven't changed sex!
You really don't believe us though do you.
Now answer my previous Q? Do you know anyone who's had a human baby that was born a boy-then suddenly became a girl?

Re: British Shorthairs


There is no way of testing the fertility of a female cat, so noone knows if the cat is fertile or not. All we know is that if it is female it was born female.

What colour are these 2 cats?

If you are not winding anybody up, why don't you answer my questions then??

Why don't you ask your feline specialist??? since you obviously do not believe anything any of us says.
