Pet's info: Cat | Persian | Female | unspayed | 7 months and 30 days old

Hi, my female persian cat will be 8 months old tomorrow. She was in heat from almost a month & accidentally mated several times with my 9 months old male cat on 4 th november. Many people are saying that she is too young to have kittens. Now i am very worried about what to do & how to find out she is pregnant or not or how to take care of her so that she can give birth without any complications. I can notice some changes in her already.please suggest me what to do now.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Elsa. If she is old enough to go into heat, she is able to become pregnant. A veterinarian can do an ultrasound around 28 days for pregnancy to look for fetal heartbeats. X-rays can be done to count kittens by 45-50 days of pregnancy. I recommend continuing to feed her kitten food for adequate nutrition. I hope this information helps!
