Kitten Season (all Year Round)
Tweet |
Apparently, there is “kitten season” in the U.S. but over here, isn’t it all year round?
This article provides very useful information for those who might encounter a litter of kittens and are unsure of what to do.
Many people don’t realize cats are almost as prolific as rabbits when it comes to reproducing. An intact female cat can become pregnant at 5 months of age, and can have multiple litters a year. Each litter is typically 4 to 6 kittens, so just one mother cat can bring 12 to 18 kittens into the world every year of her life.
During this time of year, it’s not unusual to encounter either a nest of kittens or a single kitten, and no mother cat in sight. Upon seeing such a tiny, defenseless creature, your first instinct may be to scoop him up and take him somewhere safe. However, that’s not the best course of action in every case.
Do please read the whole article.
