Be careful though, and make sure they don't use any products that aren't suitable for pregnant cats.

Re: Cj ---


Its your choice CJ, but I think its very wrong, I feel so sorry for the poor Cat I really do. I also dont know how a Vet can detect a yes or no for a Cat being pregnant at 20 days, especially when you thought the Cat had been spayed so had no idea about her calling etc.. No ultrasound either. I asked a friend who scans bitches and she said its 30 days the same as for dogs.

Breeding from a Cat sold at pet quality is wrong in my opinion, not judging, just voicing my opinion.

Couple of things, CJ: I support your decision thoroughly!! What I like is that all the friends on this Forum, and I do think of you as friends, expressed their opinions in a non-judgmental way and listened to the other opinions respectfully like the adults we are! It is a difficult decision, and in the end one has to go by the dictates of her/his conscience!! (I will get off my soapbox now!) As far as the questionairre bit, I didn't mean a written form that you'd hand out; rather, a list of questions you'd prepared to check the suitability of the would-be adoptee...if it's written down, you won't forget to ask something! Lastly, couldn't your vet have been able to tell if she'd had a litter before? Best to you and PF!!!

Re: Cj ---


I didnt think to ask while we were at the vets if she may already have had a litter, it's something to ask when we go next time.
Maybe i'll hold off on the grooming until after she has the kittens, find a suitable time, ie when the kittens are independant of mommy, and give PF a bit of a spruce up then, just to be on the safe side with the pregnancy.

As for the pregnancy being detected so early on, I can only tell you what the vets told me, but if you know different then so be it.
