my cat had a litter of four kittens and about a month later we found one of
them dead. two days later another one started to fall when walking he
looked like a person who was drunk. not to long after it loooked like ehe
lost control of his legs, he could not walk. he was twirling in circles
while laying down. he would have this fits where he would cry out and bend
his body all the way forming a cirle. he took him to the vet and by the
time we got there he wasn't responding to anything but loud noices where
then his body would flinch. the doctor did not really tell us anything but
sometimes this happens, he was then put to sleep. two days later another
kitten did the same thing. now we have one left. it has been about two
weeks since all this but i am scared we are to lose him to. so i have two
questions for you. one being at what age di u not have to worry about my
kitten dieing? the second is that after all but one of her kittens died she
automaticly went into heat. now i think she is pregnant again and i was
wondering if there is anything i could do too help insure these kittens
live. thank you.

You really should have the mom cat spayed. The world does not need
more kittens. I don't know at what age your kitten would be considered
safe from dying. It's very sad about the others but please get the
mother cat spayed. It is far healthier for her to not reproduce and
maybe she has some genetic defect that the kittens are inheriting.

We don't know the circumstances. Maybe she took the cat in pregnant? But
yes, she should be spayed. I don't think there is a "safe" age, but I would
imagine if kitty makes it to 3 months, chances are pretty good. Very sorry
to hear about the other kitties.

Get the cat spayed now. Don't wait for her to birth more kittens.
The symptoms you describe sound like a couple of things - encephalitis
and FIP can both manifest like that, as can a number of neurological
disorders.
Either way, have her spayed now.

Have the mother spayed. It is very important.

i want her to be sprayed. can she even though she is PG? i didn't have any
time between when kittens died and her going into heat to have her sprayed
it was an automatic thing.

Yes, she can be spayed eventhough she is pregnant. Don't wait too long
or it will be pretty hard on her body.
