Question:
I am not sure whether my cat is pregnant or not. Is it dangerous to continue giving her the pill if she is pregnant?

Answer:
It's better to stop giving the pill untill you are sure your cat is not pregnant. The pill can be dangerous for her future litter. Even then keep in mind that birth control pills can not be used as a long term solution. No cat contraceptive is 100% effective. Besides they do have side effects which could lead to developing diabetes.
