CAT CURIOSITIES – DID YOU KNOW?

 

· Cats have a constant 3 week cycle from Spring through to Summer

· Only come off cycle during this time if mated...AND...

· Can become pregnant whilst still feeding a litter of kittens.

· Desexing whilst still feeding decreases the opportunity of one unplanned litter after another!

           If you are not wanting to breed from your cat:

· Desexing can be performed when the kittens are only 3 – 4 weeks old (whilst still feeding)

· Mother and babies come in together and the procedure does not interfere with feeding.

Responsible pet ownership includes ALL aspects of care, if not wanting to breed from your cat, show you care for her AND your community and have her desexed!
