Depends on what deleterious genes might be there. I have done father to daughter matings before (when daughter resulted from a complete outcross) with no problems at all.

Yes it is. GCCF recommendations allow for kittens a lot closer together than that.

I was being very nice to you but I have to say now this really IS looking like a wind-up!!!

I apologise for the confusion. The full story is as such: We have seven cats. Four of those are stray (one of the strays was a skogkatt/forest cat, and the other was the 'mother cat' which is pregnant now. She arrived heavily pregnant last June or July.)
She birthed six kittens then- two of which we kept. These are the two which are also pregnant now. On the second litter she had only three. This will be her third pregnancy. We had a cat before which was pregnant twice.

One of the other cats was opening the window of its own accord, even despite our attempts to keep the window permanently closed. Allowing them to get out was carelessness on our part.

The two pregnant kittens have not bred with their father, but we do believe that they all mated with the same tomcat.

Liz: I appreciate the support, and I assure you this isn't a wind-up.

I think that was everything. By the way, those photographs are from the second litter of kittens of the stray cat.

I was just going by my experience with my cats Liz. There is no way I would breed from them again so soon. Both girls had 7 and it's 5 months since the 1 girls litter and to me she is'nt ready for another one. I know many breeders do if they think their girls can deal with it and that they are allowed up to 3 litters in 2 years. Really I was trying to put this person off from keep breeding all these kittens, but I have to agree that I think it's been a big wind up from the start too

How would you know, if you don't know who the father is of them in the first place

I dont believe for one moment a cat can open a window unless your house is in dire need of replacements

you say this post isnt a wind up if its not then you dont deserve to keep any pets least of all female cats you have got 2 5 month old kittens that the old tom from down the road has impregnated and you think its 'lol'

I feel so sorry for your cats i just hope you can control your humour enough to get them checked at the vets and spayed asap after the babies have had their babies !

and you said that you there arent many cats where you live just the 1 tomcat you see every now and again....but you have taken 4 strays in?

I might be wrong but Im sure you said in the beginning the cats go out...then you said that you clean the litter trays....then you said they dont go out but they open the window?

There's other discrepencies throughout but Im not going to waste my time as my gut instinct says this is someone winding up the cat section and knowing perfectly well what things get our goats up about cats and is saying all of those things to do just that.

One thing I have learnt throughout life is if you are ever unsure go with your gut instinct...and my gut instinct is screaming at me 'winder upper'...so based on that Im off to the next thread to see if any advice is needed there.

Did you get someone to help you with this reply? Bit inconsistent with your other posts that make rather hard reading.
