They were "mating" and I know she can't get pregnant from him but is this a problem?" Yes. If you don't want his eyes clawed out some day when the cat gets absolutely fed up with ihim, scold him whenever you see him doing that and push him off.
"She is pregnant (not very far in to it) but she is pregnant." Yes, a pregnant cat CAN be spayed. It will cost a bit more than a regular spay, but nothing like the cost of kittens especially if something goes wrong.
Phone around until you find a vet who will help you (including the Humane Society). "They will have to stay with her for a month or so to nurse, but what will my dog think of it?" Your dog will probably kill the kittens, unintentionally or otherwise.
Keep them in a separate room 100% of the time. And the kitten have to stay with mom for 8 weeks, not 4. If there is a runt, it might be 9 or 10 weeks.
If you're going to go through with this, do it right or else turn the cat over to a rescue and let them handle it. You can ask to adopt her after the kittens are gone. The kittens must be kept in the house where it is warm and safe.
When the cat goes into labor, have a "nest" ready for her somewhere quiet (maybe a bedroom closet). Line a cardboard box with some papers. Don't use blankets, the kits might smother.
Stay with her so you can assist--or take her to the vet--if something goes wrong. Change the papers after each kitten (they will be bloody). After she's done, give her a soft old towel to lie on and switch towels when it gets dirty.
If the kittens aren't healthy, or if she has trouble delivering them, you'll have to pay the vet bills. A C-section starts at $500 and goes up depending on circumstances. Be prepared to buy Kitten Replacement Milk if there are any small kittens, or if she doesn't have enough milk for all 6 kittens.
You should also give the kittens their first shots at 8 weeks prior to going to their new homes. You'll need to worm them too. Having a litter of kittens is expensive.
You could easily end up paying $500 to $1000 or more. So it is far better for you to simply have her spayed. Most Humane Societies will do that for less than $100.
Also check around for spay/neuter clinics...here in my city their current charge is $125. Again, expect to pay more for a pregnant cat.
Your dog is more than likely mounting your cat to show dominance over your cat. Your dog is letting your cat know who is boss. About 2 weeks before your cat goes into labor you need to introduce her to the spot where you want her to have the kittens.
A dark spot like the closet in your room would be great. Somewhere where she can have her privacy and not be bothered by people or other animals. You need to be able to get to her on case of an emergency though.
Get a box big enough for her to stretch out I and line it with newspaper when she has them it will be a mess. She's going to eat the placenta. Let her it gives her nutrients that she will need.
Usually the mother knows everything to do and does it all just well. When she goes into labor you will need to have the following items handy: floss or thread, wash clothes (six of them since there are six kittens) clean scissors. A baby bulb to suck out fluid.
If the mother does not tear the kitten out of the sack immediately have your gloves on and gently grip the sack and tear the kitten out. Tie floss or thread about an inch and a half away from the beginning of the umbilical cord and cut it. Make sure.
You don't leave long ends of floss or thread. Put the kitten in the washcloth and rub it to warm it up and clean it off. Rub until you here a meow.
Before you do that take the bulb and suck out the mouth and nose When finished let the kitten nurse as this stimulates contractions. Read all you can on the Internet and talk to your vet. And remember to make sure you have as many placentas birthed as you do kittens.
Labor can take a long time or a short time it all depends on the individual. Also try posting on your local classifieds for free kittens.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
