Hello. After being fixed, there is no way she can become pregnant. She is maturing, & since she needs fewer calories, you may need to cut back on the amount of food she gets each day. You can also increase exercise with feather toys, laser lights, small balls to chase, etc. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
