There's a lactating cat in my neighborhood . Her kittens are around 8 weeks now. She's still feeding them though they are healthy and eating catfood. She's very emaciated and her belly looks pendulous and a little full. Could a cat get pregnant while lactating?

Hi, yes cat do get pregnant if mating when lactating. So there is a chance she could be pregnant. If you think she might be poorly, I think a check up should be organised. There are lots of feline cats associations that help with stray cats, one of these is Alley Cat Allies https://www.alleycat.org/
