I have been wondering that myself. I sort of assumed that once mated they stop calling althogether that it would be unlikely that there could be more than one sire. I'm sure some cat breeding experts on here will correct me if I am wrong

Re: Maud is pregnant


Im slowly getting off cloud nine now LOL.When a cat comes into call it can last upto 10 days even longer,Just like dogs they dont stop calling when they have been mated,their season will continue as normal .Yes kittens can be sired by more then one male.Theres no limit.If a girl in season is allowed out she can have a quite a few males following her so guess what!

Re: Maud is pregnant


some calls can be very short ,they all vary with each cat.Was this her first call?also if your worried about kittening get down to your pet shop and buy Raspberry leaf tablets.Crush 2 tablets up and sprinkle on her food.This will help with kittening,i use this all the time

Re: Maud is pregnant


be wary if male cats are around,she could be having kits sooner then you think.When they get to final stages of pregnancy her hormons change and makes males very interested.Keep an eye on her and may be start keeping her in.Raspberry leaf is brill.Since using it weve not had major trouble with kittening.Jazz is now on it
