My cat just had kittens, but acts like she's in heat. What's wrong?

Question

hello sir my cat has 8 days old kittens. Today she has shown some signs which hint that she is in heat. She is meowing and crying and roaming around... spending little time with kittens. Is it possible for a cat to come in heat as soon as in this case... One more querry sir... Is overfeeding related to heat in cats in any manner?? THANK YOU. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 4 years and 2 months old | 6.6 lbs

It is not possible for your cat to be in heat this soon. She likely is experiencing some other internal problem and I highly recommend taking her to your vet right away. She needs a proper exam and possible diagnostic tests (bloodwork +/- radiographs) to determine what the internal problem is and hopefully get her treated quickly. I am worried about her behavior and encourage you to take her to your vet quickly. Overfeedng does not cause a cat to go into heat sooner than the body is ready. I hope that your pet Lali gets well soon! I would recommend bottle feeding these kittens until you can figure out what is going on with Lali and get her treated. You can purchase kitty replacement formula from your local feed store, some vet hospitals or your local pet store. Here is more information on how to care for kittens when they are not receiving milk from their mama cat. http://www.veterinarypartner.com/Content.plx?P=A&S=0&C=0&A=576 Best of luck!
