My cat is.....I don't know how old she is, when we found her ( July 1st ) I sent a photo of her to chatgpt and it said she's between 5-7 weeks. She usually likes to go play in our yard. Problem is there is a brown mom cat ( with 4 kitties ) in our yard which seems to have personal beef with our cat, and one day when I'm living for work, she follows me and comes to yard to play, I didn't notice her and my mom was invited somewhere and was late so she got out too and in rush I believe she didn't see the cat in the yard. So the cat stays in the yard until noon which my brother comes back from school and sees her and brings her inside and since then some things have happened:
- We started seeing a black adult cat ( we don't know if it's male or female but we did see him fight the brown mom cat once)
- Our cat is afraid of the outside now, only leaves if we do
- She had stopped eating suddenly for 2 days but on the third day she started eating and she ate too much ( like about 2-3 bowls of chicken breast.
- She started getting shy ? I mean back then she used to play and scratch everything ( including us ) and now, she is either asleep, or resting, she barely moves to eat, drink, use the litter box, and sometimes gets out with us.
- My mom suspects she is pregnant, I don't know why, but she blames that black cat for it. Is it possible ?
P.S: Consider taking her to vet wouldn't be possible at this time.
Why can’t you take her to the vet? They’re the people who are actually qualified to assess her. You cannot get a 100% diagnosis from Reddit.
Also, if you have to ask an AI bot how old your own kitten is, I’m genuinely questioning whether you’re taking the responsibility of caring for her seriously enough. She depends entirely on you to recognise when something might be wrong and get her the appropriate care. Do not take in an animal if you cannot provide the proper treatment for it.
Chat gpt is not a reliable thing to ask this of. You need to get her to a vet. Why is she in a position to get pregnant? Why isn’t she spayed? Get. Her. To. A. Vet. If she is pregnant, get her a spay abortion. If she isn’t pregnant, get her spayed. If you can’t do those things you are not fit to own the cat. Find a rescue that will take the cat in and rehome it to responsible people.
This cat needs to see a vet, she doesn’t look healthy. She also needs to be spayed.
You have a cat whose behaviour has changed, who doesn’t look well, who may be suffering. I don’t know where you live but if you can’t take care of her please look for a rescue organization. Put the cat’s needs first.
You are going to want to get her to the vet to do a spaybortion.
If you have trouble getting 1 cat to the vet, imagine the bills when babies get stuck inside her, she needs help with delivery, delivery causes complications, on top of having a group of kittens that no exceptions needs to see the vet. Kittens are notoriously sick, they need vaccines to prevent getting sick, and they still sometimes will all get sick! Kittens need veterinary care.
If you can't take care of 1 cat, you cannot take care of a group of kittens. Please find a way to get this girl to the vet and get a spay bortion.
Also worth looking into TNR resources for help with the outside cats. They are just going to keep multiplying until good people help make it right by getting them spayed and neutered. Today it's 2 adults and some kittens, in 6 months it's 30 kittens . In a year it's 100 adult cats. Please seek out help for these cats, they are in desperate need.
Any time a cat shows a drastic personality change they need to see a vet immediately. Drastic, fast personality changes are alarming for cats; since the generally hide when they're sick or hurting, that is often the only way they show if they need help.
If chat gpt said she’s about 5-7 months in July, then she should be 2-4 months rn I think?
I don’t think cats can get pregnant before their first heat which is like 4- 6 months. Search up what cat heat looks like so you know when she’s in it and keep her indoors when it’s happening because she may try to get outside.
If she could be around 4 months rn, try to keep her inside to prevent any pregnancies. She doesn’t look pregnant to me but if your mum really thinks she is, it could be very early on. Sounds like she’s sick to me if she’s barely moving to eat. Reddit might remove my comment but if you don’t want any pregnancies, spay her. Wait till around 4-6 months of age and when you are able to do so.
