Hi folks...sorry for the dumb question....

Can a cat become pregnant if she is not in heat?

Intact female cats are either pregnant/nursing or in heat. Please spay her
as soon as possible.

dont spay her! if she's already pregnant, not only does it kill the babys,
it will harm the cat. most vets will tell you not to spay her if she's
pregnant.

That's not true. Vets routinely spay cats that are already pregnant, but
the earlier the pregnancy, the easier the procedure.
