<v Speaker 3>Welcome back everyone. It is kittyseason.
<v Speaker 1>Now.
<v Speaker 3>What is kitty season? This is the time of year
<v Speaker 3>an unaltered female cat, which is called a queen, goes
<v Speaker 3>into heat. Now this time in at least the northern
<v Speaker 3>hemisphere is about April through October. It can vary a
<v Speaker 3>little sometimes as early as March, and it's generally, you know,
<v Speaker 3>in the warmer months. So my guess is in other
<v Speaker 3>hemispheres would probably be opposite. And there's a lot of
<v Speaker 3>reasons you should be aware of it, and there's a
<v Speaker 3>lot of things you can do, as you know, a
<v Speaker 3>pet parent or as a caring pet advocate person to
<v Speaker 3>do your part two help the kittens that are being
<v Speaker 3>born out there in the wild, and to protect your
<v Speaker 3>cats and protect the T and R cats in your neighborhood.
<v Speaker 3>So here's some facts that I found while doing my
<v Speaker 3>research that I thought were pretty interesting. Cats can go
<v Speaker 3>into heat female cats, of course, female cats can go
<v Speaker 3>into heat as early as four months old. As soon
<v Speaker 3>as the cats are able to go into heat, there
<v Speaker 3>called a queen that's only for cats, you know, female
<v Speaker 3>cats of course that are not fixed. Just so you know,
<v Speaker 3>cats can be fixed pretty early in age, just as
<v Speaker 3>they give birth pretty early in age. They can give
<v Speaker 3>birth as soon as four months old, which I mean
<v Speaker 3>that's pretty short, but they can be fixed as early
<v Speaker 3>as eight weeks old or two pounds, which is definitely fixed.
<v Speaker 3>The sooner the better. There's been discussions between different veterinarians,
<v Speaker 3>different schools of thought whether cats should be able to
<v Speaker 3>go through their first heat or not. I'm on the
<v Speaker 3>side with fix them as soon as you can, because
<v Speaker 3>if you're not able to control your cat during the
<v Speaker 3>heat season, you may end up with a litter of
<v Speaker 3>kiddies you weren't expecting.
<v Speaker 6>Now.
<v Speaker 3>Cats can also give birth to multiple litters at once,
<v Speaker 3>and what happens is when the cat is impregnated by
<v Speaker 3>different males within a seven day period, they're likely to
<v Speaker 3>have actually multiple litters within the same litter. And this
<v Speaker 3>happened to Sammy, the cat that gave birth my pregnant
<v Speaker 3>Tea in our cat that I didn't know was pregnant.
<v Speaker 3>More about her a little bit later. Also, another great
<v Speaker 3>interesting fact is that when female cats are in heat,
<v Speaker 3>they will do whatever they can do to find a tomcat.
<v Speaker 3>And a tomcat is an unaltered male cat. I think
<v Speaker 3>it has to do with the pheromones and hormones produced
<v Speaker 3>in their body to just find a guy and have
<v Speaker 3>it done, you know, were lack of better words. And
<v Speaker 3>there's also I believe the pheromones that are produced in
<v Speaker 3>the female queen cats the pheromones that are luring the
<v Speaker 3>tomcat to her as well, so kind of going both ways. Also,
<v Speaker 3>cats can go into heat up to five times within
<v Speaker 3>a cycle. Now, when cats going into the heat cycle,
<v Speaker 3>that's like never ending. Some cat can give birth and
<v Speaker 3>get pregnant within just six to eight weeks, so while
<v Speaker 3>they're actually nursing and recuperating with their babies, maybe just
<v Speaker 3>six weeks later, before the babies are even fully weaned
<v Speaker 3>from them, they can get pregnant again. And yes, that
<v Speaker 3>also happened to my cat, Sammy, and I'll tell you
<v Speaker 3>the story a little bit later. Now here's some tips
<v Speaker 3>on how to tell if a cat is pregnant. There's
<v Speaker 3>a few different states, actually five stages. There's one fertilization
<v Speaker 3>and you know what, cats, just like females female humans,
<v Speaker 3>do get morning sickness and it's generally the first two
<v Speaker 3>to three weeks. So during this time she'll have, you
<v Speaker 3>know what, it seems like morning sickness. You won't be
<v Speaker 3>eating too much, and by the middle stage, which is
<v Speaker 3>the third stage, she starts to be gaining weight. By
<v Speaker 3>the fourth stage, you can tell that she's labor because
<v Speaker 3>her nipples become visible, and she'll stop eating about two
<v Speaker 3>days before she gives birth. Now for labor and delivery,
<v Speaker 3>she'll find a secure place. She'll lick her babies and okay,
<v Speaker 3>this is a little gross to us, but she eats
<v Speaker 3>the placenta because this gives her nutritional benefits. You know,
<v Speaker 3>cats in the wild are very about survival, so this
<v Speaker 3>is just something that's normal to the female cat. Little gross,
<v Speaker 3>but hey, now, what do you do once the kitties
<v Speaker 3>are born? Okay, here comes the fun part, But it's
<v Speaker 3>a challenge. You know, the kitties are born, they're adorable,
<v Speaker 3>they're cute, but you have to be responsible for them
<v Speaker 3>with her in a sense, and there's things that you
<v Speaker 3>will have to watch out for, and they become mobile
<v Speaker 3>very quickly. But first thing you should do don't disturb
<v Speaker 3>the kittens unless necessary for a little while. Know that
<v Speaker 3>if the mom seems to have abandoned the kittens, she
<v Speaker 3>might just be on the hunt for food and will return.
<v Speaker 3>Even if it's a cat mom that you're feeding, she
<v Speaker 3>still may go on the hunt to look for food.
<v Speaker 3>This is something that's in her nature to do, so
<v Speaker 3>don't become too worried. You only need to go into
<v Speaker 3>action if you see that the kitties are in harm's way.
<v Speaker 3>And this is something interesting that happened to us. When
<v Speaker 3>Sammy gave birth. She had the kitties on the side
<v Speaker 3>next to the side of my house by where there's
<v Speaker 3>some you know, brush, so she felt protected well. During
<v Speaker 3>a heavy rainstorm, she didn't know, but she was near
<v Speaker 3>a water spout and the kittens almost drowned. So if
<v Speaker 3>I hadn't moved them to a more secure place, there
<v Speaker 3>would be no kittens. And you know she's a cat.
<v Speaker 3>She wasn't aware of this. Of course, the next day
<v Speaker 3>we got some some hosing to move the water away,
<v Speaker 3>so if she still went to that spot, she would
<v Speaker 3>still be fine, and so with the kittens, of course,
<v Speaker 3>But just try to keep an eye out for where
<v Speaker 3>the kittens are, don't disturb them, and just make sure
<v Speaker 3>they're secure. Kittens can be weaned as soon as four
<v Speaker 3>to six weeks old, and they should be handled from
<v Speaker 3>five weeks old to socialize them. This isn't something else
<v Speaker 3>that's really important. Kittens they grow so fast. By I
<v Speaker 3>would say two to three weeks, they're already walking all
<v Speaker 3>over the place. And if the momcatcave birth, you know,
<v Speaker 3>someplace near your home by some brush or bushes, or
<v Speaker 3>just some secure area where she feels a little hidden.
<v Speaker 3>You want to keep an eye out for the kittens
<v Speaker 3>and see how far they're going, because it's very easy
<v Speaker 3>for them to go under a car during any time
<v Speaker 3>of wet weather or very warm weather. That's where they
<v Speaker 3>go under the car to keep them dry, to keep
<v Speaker 3>them away from the sun. So really it's time too
<v Speaker 3>when they're about two weeks old, and if she's going
<v Speaker 3>to keep them in your area, try to find a spot,
<v Speaker 3>if passed, where the kittens can be somehow contained. I
<v Speaker 3>was lucky enough to have a little dog run, so
<v Speaker 3>I made a little house for the kittens in there.
<v Speaker 3>You know, they had a tarp, so they had I
<v Speaker 3>made it, you know, put a tarpa actually the husband
<v Speaker 3>made of tarp so he gets a credit. We put
<v Speaker 3>a tarp up so that they would be protected from
<v Speaker 3>the sun and the rain. She was able to feed
<v Speaker 3>them there, she was able to climb out and do whatever,
<v Speaker 3>but the kittens weren't at least for a while, and
<v Speaker 3>it was a grassy area. There was a couple of
<v Speaker 3>plants we bought for they would have little bushes around
<v Speaker 3>them for jumping on some toys and things like that,
<v Speaker 3>and they were fine. This way kept them somewhat protected
<v Speaker 3>from you know, definitely kept them protected from the driveway
<v Speaker 3>or going undering your cars. And it also kept them
<v Speaker 3>somewhat protected from wildlife such as raccoons and ducks and
<v Speaker 3>possums and so forth. At least that's what I find
<v Speaker 3>in my aria, my neck and woods. You might find
<v Speaker 3>deer or something else that you need to protect them from.
<v Speaker 3>All right, we're going to be right back right after
<v Speaker 3>this break, real people, real stories.
<v Speaker 7>Our little dog developed this lumph problem at the chemotherapy
<v Speaker 7>lasted for six months, started developing more lymph nose, so
<v Speaker 7>I thought I'd just try carnivore. If the lymph nose
<v Speaker 7>started to go down, then I took him into the
<v Speaker 7>vet to him checked out, and there was no signs
<v Speaker 7>at all. Inside.
<v Speaker 8>My cad had issues that developed in his height, and
<v Speaker 8>three months later my ven airing said this, go ahead
<v Speaker 8>and remove the eye. I heard the carnivore on advertising,
<v Speaker 8>so I said, you know what, I'm going to order
<v Speaker 8>this product. They did the procedure, they did all the
<v Speaker 8>death and they said I don't know when you did
<v Speaker 8>this product, they had eye.
<v Speaker 6>I've got a labrador. You could hardly lift yourself up
<v Speaker 6>off the door. The treatment list came to therapy. That's
<v Speaker 6>when I said this could be the ticket. About three
<v Speaker 6>weeks you could tell she was very alert. She was
<v Speaker 6>going to buy my lock and she is just like
<v Speaker 6>crime again.

<v Speaker 3>Welcome back, everyone. This is Michelle Burn, your host on Catitude,
<v Speaker 3>and we're talking about kittie season and what you can
<v Speaker 3>do to get through it. When you find community cats
<v Speaker 3>in your neighborhood that you want to assist or just
<v Speaker 3>to keep your cats safe, and especially if you have
<v Speaker 3>indoor outdoor cats. So we've been talking about you know,
<v Speaker 3>what to do when the kitties are little and the
<v Speaker 3>mom has just given birth and the kitties are a
<v Speaker 3>couple weeks old. Here's another thing to be careful of.
<v Speaker 3>Watch out for kitties hiding inside your car. Yes, I
<v Speaker 3>said that right inside your car. Where I live, it's
<v Speaker 3>an area that gets torrential rains and hurricanes and horrible weather.
<v Speaker 3>And I found this also true for people that live
<v Speaker 3>in areas where there's a lot of hail. So during
<v Speaker 3>the time we were prepping for a somewhat mild hurricane,
<v Speaker 3>we couldn't find Sammy or what she did with her kittens,
<v Speaker 3>and so we were looking around, looking around, and we
<v Speaker 3>finally noticed that she hid them up inside my husband's
<v Speaker 3>SUV inside the car. I don't even want to think
<v Speaker 3>about what could have happened if the car had been
<v Speaker 3>turned on. That's oh, I can't even go there. But
<v Speaker 3>one thing that I've read many places on the internet,
<v Speaker 3>and I've also heard from others show hosts on pet
<v Speaker 3>Life Radio, this is a good tip before you start
<v Speaker 3>your car, bang on the hood. Just give a little bang.
<v Speaker 3>This will startle any cat that happens to be climbing
<v Speaker 3>up inside your car and will get them to jump out.
<v Speaker 3>So that was something I mean, I don't know how
<v Speaker 3>this mama cat, Sammy the mom and cat managed to
<v Speaker 3>bring all of her babies one by one up inside
<v Speaker 3>and she found an area she's a skinny little thing
<v Speaker 3>to curb her body and have the cats still fit
<v Speaker 3>and wean from her. But the other thing that happened
<v Speaker 3>is the cat babies also fell out. You know, they
<v Speaker 3>just like plopped out. They were so little, maybe at
<v Speaker 3>this time they were a week and a half old.
<v Speaker 3>So we put some cushioning that was covered so from
<v Speaker 3>the even with the elements, it would still be you know,
<v Speaker 3>cushioned for them, so if the babies fell out, at
<v Speaker 3>least they wouldn't get hurt. Just be aware that kittens
<v Speaker 3>and cats can hide inside and under your car so
<v Speaker 3>that you don't have any horrible surprises. You know, during
<v Speaker 3>the lifetime of a cat, she can have up to
<v Speaker 3>fifty litters of kittens, and most litters are anywhere from
<v Speaker 3>three to five kitties. And considering they can go into
<v Speaker 3>heat maybe up to five times during their cycle, that
<v Speaker 3>is a lot of kitties. And multiply this times all
<v Speaker 3>of the millions of cats out there, queen cats out
<v Speaker 3>there that are not you know, their queen cats are
<v Speaker 3>not fixed. That's a lot of kitties, and what happens
<v Speaker 3>to most of them is they are killed, euthanized, or
<v Speaker 3>run over or taken his prey by other wild animals.
<v Speaker 3>The best way to put a stop to this is
<v Speaker 3>to get your cats spade or neotered. That's, you know,
<v Speaker 3>the best thing you could do. I can't think of
<v Speaker 3>anything better fix your cat, but one thing better, One
<v Speaker 3>thing that I am really a huge, huge advocate is
<v Speaker 3>is adopt, don't shop. There are so many kitties out
<v Speaker 3>there that need to be adopted in shelters, especially during
<v Speaker 3>kitty season. This is a great time if you ever
<v Speaker 3>wanted to volunteer at a cat shelter or if you
<v Speaker 3>want to adopt, because there's an overwhelming amount of kitties
<v Speaker 3>that are available at places, you know, like your local
<v Speaker 3>humane society or local you know cat shelter. There's a
<v Speaker 3>lot of vets that do TNR, so you might want
<v Speaker 3>to inquire there or just you know, even there's neighborhood sites.
<v Speaker 3>One that I know of is called next Door. That
<v Speaker 3>was actually where I did the responsible thing in getting
<v Speaker 3>the kitties adopted. So I'm going to talk about that
<v Speaker 3>in just a second. So there's a lot of ways
<v Speaker 3>you can reach out within your community to let people
<v Speaker 3>know you have kitties. They're safe, they're okay. If you're
<v Speaker 3>able to take them to the vet for their first look.
<v Speaker 3>A lot of vets don't charge for the first visit.
<v Speaker 3>Then you can let the people that are adopting the
<v Speaker 3>kitties know that they're healthy and you know, fine and
<v Speaker 3>ready to adopt. So there's a lot of things you
<v Speaker 3>can do just to be I guess, a really good
<v Speaker 3>pet person, pet pet parent, pet advocate, and think about
<v Speaker 3>maybe adopting yourself, you know. I mean, this is how
<v Speaker 3>my kitty family grew by by four. I had one
<v Speaker 3>and now there's five. So this is what happened. So
<v Speaker 3>now I was talking earlier about Sammy and I mentioned
<v Speaker 3>little bits of her, but I want to share a
<v Speaker 3>little bit of the story. Some people might have heard
<v Speaker 3>it in an earlier episode, but you know, it deals
<v Speaker 3>with kitty season. When I moved into my now home,
<v Speaker 3>it was around kitty season. It was right around April,
<v Speaker 3>and there was you know, a little I thought it
<v Speaker 3>was a little kitty, but and she might have been.
<v Speaker 3>I don't know how old Sammy was. And we started
<v Speaker 3>feeding her and then we thought wow, you know, she's
<v Speaker 3>she's getting kind of she must be doing okay, you know,
<v Speaker 3>and lo and behold, maybe a couple months later, she
<v Speaker 3>gave birth right in front of my doorstep, right there.
<v Speaker 3>And she must have been impregnated by two tomcats because
<v Speaker 3>and remember earlier I mentioned that the queens can be
<v Speaker 3>impregnated and have multiple letters in one berth. Well, two
<v Speaker 3>of her kitties looked just like her and just like
<v Speaker 3>who I think is the father. And the other kitty
<v Speaker 3>was black and white. That's miss Molly. If you've seen
<v Speaker 3>her on Instagram, which is at catatude seventeen, she's a
<v Speaker 3>little black and white diva with the most gorgeous like
<v Speaker 3>green alien eyes as I call them. Anyway, So she
<v Speaker 3>gave birth and it was awakening for me because I
<v Speaker 3>had never been around kittens that small. So these kittens
<v Speaker 3>are growing and they're mobile, they're walking all over the
<v Speaker 3>place by about three weeks, maybe a little less, and
<v Speaker 3>that's when I decided we either have to put them
<v Speaker 3>in some place, which we luckily had a dog one
<v Speaker 3>And some people said, you know, why didn't you take
<v Speaker 3>them in your home? Why didn't you bring them in
<v Speaker 3>your patio? We do have a covered and screen patio,
<v Speaker 3>and the reason is because of Mama. Sammy wouldn't have
<v Speaker 3>liked it. She's very much a wild cat. She's I
<v Speaker 3>don't want to stay wild. She's a feral cat. She's
<v Speaker 3>a community cat. She's come a long way and she's
<v Speaker 3>become much more socialized towards us, but she's still an
<v Speaker 3>outdoor cat. So if I had tried to bring the
<v Speaker 3>kittens inside the patio, they would be separate from the mom,
<v Speaker 3>and Sammy would have done whatever she could to get
<v Speaker 3>to the cats. So we couldn't put her inside a
<v Speaker 3>contained place. The only time we did is kind of
<v Speaker 3>and it feels a little mean, but we kind of
<v Speaker 3>trapped her and put her in a very large cat carrier.
<v Speaker 3>Is during a hurricane that was going to be very,
<v Speaker 3>very pretty bad and there was nothing else we could do.
<v Speaker 3>But we did put her with the kiddies and put
<v Speaker 3>food in water, and she had plenty of room and
<v Speaker 3>she wasn't in there very long. It was just during
<v Speaker 3>the part of the storm that was you know, horrible,
<v Speaker 3>and probably a couple of hours. It wasn't very long,
<v Speaker 3>but we you know, built a little community for them
<v Speaker 3>under a tarp well they had a tarp area, big
<v Speaker 3>grassy area, plants, toys, the whole bit, and they did well.
<v Speaker 3>And so I was wondering, you know, when can I
<v Speaker 3>get her fixed? Well, I tried to catch her myself,
<v Speaker 3>and that didn't work so well. And so by the
<v Speaker 3>time I did try to get her fixed, guess what,
<v Speaker 3>she was pregnant again. Yep. And that was only a
<v Speaker 3>period of maybe oh geez, maybe like four weeks, five weeks,
<v Speaker 3>six weeks, maybe six weeks later she was already pregnant.
<v Speaker 3>And people told me, you know, you can't really take
<v Speaker 3>her in to get fixed until the babies are old enough,
<v Speaker 3>so you have to wait six weeks, eight weeks. And
<v Speaker 3>then she gave birth today again to another three cats
<v Speaker 3>off tabbies like herself. Oh and by the way, we
<v Speaker 3>did adopt the black and white one from that, you know,
<v Speaker 3>miss Molly, so we adopted one, and we adopted the
<v Speaker 3>kitten that she had when that was with her, Charlotte,
<v Speaker 3>so we adopted two from her litter. Plus we have
<v Speaker 3>Dennis in side, so that's three indoor kiddies anymore. And
<v Speaker 3>I don't know if I would be able to breathe,
<v Speaker 3>because I just about manage my allergies with the three
<v Speaker 3>of them. So she had the second litter, and we
<v Speaker 3>took care of them the same way. And when they
<v Speaker 3>were very very little, we did get them, you know,
<v Speaker 3>some kitten formula and as they got older, you know,
<v Speaker 3>special food for kittens and so on. We did this
<v Speaker 3>with the first litter as well, and I began seeking
<v Speaker 3>out a way to get her fixed earlier than I
<v Speaker 3>did before, because I didn't want her to go through
<v Speaker 3>another litter. I made sure that all of the kittens
<v Speaker 3>were adopted the first letter, and you know, of course
<v Speaker 3>we adopted one. And then for the second letter, I
<v Speaker 3>did the same thing. I reached out on nextdoor dot
<v Speaker 3>com to my local neighborhood and adopted sim kittens that way,
<v Speaker 3>reached out to friends let them know. I also made sure,
<v Speaker 3>and this is common during kitting season, make sure that
<v Speaker 3>whoever adopts your kitties want a kitty that will turn
<v Speaker 3>into a cat and no longer be an adorable little kitten.
<v Speaker 3>There's still adorable cats, but don't just let anybody adopt them,
<v Speaker 3>you know. I recently did a wonderful interview with Crumbs
<v Speaker 3>and Whiskers, and they go through a little screening process,
<v Speaker 3>which is wonderful because a lot of times people will
<v Speaker 3>impulsely say, oh, I want that kitty so cute, and
<v Speaker 3>not realize all the care that goes into caring for
<v Speaker 3>a kitten, a cat, a dog, a puppy or you know,
<v Speaker 3>a durabil or rabbit whatever, But make sure that they're
<v Speaker 3>willing to deal with everything that's involved and the cost,
<v Speaker 3>the visits and so forth. So I had to do.
<v Speaker 3>And this is also an interview that I had because
<v Speaker 3>I've never heard of it and I thought it was interesting.
<v Speaker 3>This is an earlier interview. I hired a cat trapper
<v Speaker 3>and the cat trapper was able to catch Sammy and
<v Speaker 3>Sammy was fixed. I got her baby daddy fixed. So
<v Speaker 3>Sammy was fixed, and just to summarize where everybody is now,
<v Speaker 3>her baby daddy was fixed. That's Jethrow. So Sammy and
<v Speaker 3>Jethrow are like our outdoor cats, you know, they prefer
<v Speaker 3>it that way, and they have a house outside where
<v Speaker 3>they can go into. They have a special heating unit
<v Speaker 3>in there that specially for cats and very safe that
<v Speaker 3>we use during when it's a little bit cooler, which
<v Speaker 3>where I live is about fifty degrees. I know, not
<v Speaker 3>that called but for the kiddies, it's fine. They can
<v Speaker 3>go into there when it's raining, they get fed, they
<v Speaker 3>get flea treatment, and of course they were both fixed,
<v Speaker 3>so no more unwanted kitties being born trying to find
<v Speaker 3>a home. And they seem to be much happier as well,
<v Speaker 3>you know, and they're just the cutest little pair. They're
<v Speaker 3>on my Instagram at times. I have pictures of Sammy
<v Speaker 3>and Jeffer, but they're a happy cat family. Mollie is
<v Speaker 3>now Wow, she's about almost two and a half. Whow
<v Speaker 3>does time fly? And she's doing great. And Charlotte is
<v Speaker 3>her bigger sister. There's a little subling rivalry there, but
<v Speaker 3>Charlotte is doing very well also, and that's kind of
<v Speaker 3>what's going on. So I'm just so glad to be
<v Speaker 3>able to share this with you and to let you
<v Speaker 3>know all about kitty season. Also keep in mind that
<v Speaker 3>there's a lot of pop up kitty cafes and kitty
<v Speaker 3>adoption centers that will occur during this time period from
<v Speaker 3>April to October then compared to any other time, so
<v Speaker 3>be sure to reach out volunteer. If you can't adopt,
