My 8 Month-Old Kitten Got Pregnant By Her Brother!!

Our pregnant kitten Ruby

Last August we looked into having a kitten, we went to look at one and ended up coming home with two: a female and a male!

As the female cat, Ruby, was beginning to come into heat at about 4 months old and a couple of times sice, as we hadn't got niether cats spayed, Spock, the male cat, started to try to mate with Ruby.

Despite our best efforts to stop this happening, a few weeks after about her fourth heat, we started to notice her nipples had become pink and swollen.

We kept a close eye on her and researched all the signs and symptoms of a cat pregnancy, and we started to see alot of these in Ruby! We are just really worried about her being pregnant at such a young age!

However, we read stories on the internet about kittens Ruby's age and younger, who are okay through the process of the birth of their kittens.

We think she's due in 2-3 weeks, and are now awaiting a hopefully healthy litter of kittens, and hoping that mommy cat will be okay too!
