Thank you for submitting your question regarding your cat. A new puppy in the home will provide a lot of stress to a pregnant queen. If you decide to do so, I would ensure that they can be kept completely separate. I would also plan ahead financially. If there is a problem with delivery, a C-section can cost several thousand dollars. In addition, there are checks up for the kittens to consider. I hope this information helps!
