My 6-month-old kitten is pregnant. Will it stunt her growth or harm her?

Question

If my 6 month old kitten is pregnant can this stunt her growth and cause her any harm ? Also can she still mate if she is already pregnant and after pregnancy once her body gets back to normal will it be obvious she's had a Kittens before? Pet's info: Cat | British Shorthair | Female | unspayed

Yes, Pixie can get pregnant as soon as she starts cycling. Yes, it will stunt her growth a little as she is not fully mature yet. She will not mate once she is pregnant but may come back into heat once the litter starts weaning. Cats can be prolific breeders so I would highly recommend to have her spayed ASAP! She can produce up to 27 kittens a year! Lastly, no, you may not be able to tell she has had kittens once she is spayed. I hope this helps!
