Hello everyone,

I have my first kitten as a pet and i love her lots she is a tabby and ginger kitten. And well majority of my family want her to be spayed ASAP. Though i want her to have her first litter before beening spayed. I will spay her 100% adter though i want to have one of her gerenerations at least with her when she gets old. What do you think any advise would help.

Many thanks.

to a cat it means nothing causes more trouble than needed she isnt a pedigree and really if its just so she can hav one generation then i would say no, cats arnt like humans they dont want babies for children like us x

there can also be plent complications as with any birth...would you be willing to get up every 2 hours through the night to feed the kittens?? this can often happen my boy come from being hand reared his mum had cyists on her teets and it was too sore to nurse!x

Very true though it seems like a shame. Though, of course to be a responible cat owner i should get her spayed. It just seems like a shame to me. Then again hearing the moans of a cat in heat is troublesome. Maybe ill get another kitten once she is old enough then. Thanks for your reply.

no problem, it seems like a shame to you but the trouble she will go through breeding and gvin birth and then she may need a c-section or u may end up needing to feed kittens urself it is alot of time and will cost in the long run especially if something went wrong xx

It's good to hear you changed your mind

If you should change you mind though, please please please have a browse through the breeding section here. See how much it costs to raise a litter, and also all the health testing that needs to be done if you do want to breed her. As I'm sure you wouldn't want to bring a litter of kittens into the world that have an uncertain future health wise

Yeh your right on that one, being in the long term. Okay i know i am off topic though is it bad to have two kittens then just having one? I have one now. She is such a cutie. Though, i train her to be good such as playful bites are not hurting at all cos she is so small. 3 months to be exact.

^ This is what she looks like.

Having two kittens is fabulous, and I would definitely recommend it It means they can play and grow together.

She is lovely btw

With regards to biting, I really wouldn't recommend you encourage it at all. Even playful biting. It could lead to her biting even as an adult, and bugger does it hurt when they are adults I'd either distract her to bite a toy or something, or stop playing with her until the biting stops, then resume play. If you keep doing that she will eventually stop

Thank you though im trying to figure out what breed she is. I was told by RSCPA that she is a tabby and ginger kitten.

I was hoping of having two though the only problem is the handful of trouble and costs, cos i have a big family. They all love her at least.

she wont be a breed she will be a moggy!! ur standard moggy cat shes beautifull!! having two cats is great i would love another but my OH wont let me lol xx
