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!

The gestation period is 63 days, so it is still relatively early. I would expect to see signs of pregnancy no earlier than 4 weeks, and certainly I wouldn't attempt a pregnancy scan until at least 4 weeks as it is too difficult to distinguish kittens at earlier stages. So if she has not come into heat again she could certainly be pregnant, I would be patient for another week or two and if there is still no signs or she hasn't come back to heat take her into a vet for an ultrasound scan then you will know for sure. It is possible but relatively rare that she is in a false pregnancy.

Purry should be 42 days pregnant now. Sometimes it is possible that a cat does come into heat during pregnancy. If you want to know whether she is still pregnant, take her to your vet for an x ray or an utrasound. Kittens should be visible now and the vet can also count them, so you know how many to expect. It will also show her empty if she is not pregnant.
