I have two cats, a male and a female. After the male cat was neutered, the female cat is still pregnant. What s going on?

In the cat-raising circle, there is a law that no cat breeder can escape, called the "Cat Law", which means that when cat breeders raise their first cat, they may secretly vow to get one, but in the subsequent cat-raising life, as they learn more about cat breeds, they will have the idea of ​​raising a second cat, and gradually, they will raise more and more cats.

When a new cat comes into the home, some cat owners find that the breed and gender of the new cat are different from the indigenous cats. In order to avoid the appearance of a string of cats, the cat owners will choose to neuter one of the cats!

A Chinese feces collector thought the same way. When she was raising a new cat, she sterilized the indigenous male cat in her home. But what she didn’t expect was that after sterilizing the male cat, the new female cat was still pregnant.

New cat arrives

A Chinese cat owner has more than a dozen cats at home, but most of them have been neutered. Only one pastoral black cat has not been neutered. In early November 2021, the cat owner took a fancy to a calico British Shorthair. The cat is really good-looking, but it is a female cat.

In mid-to-late 11, the cat owner finally couldn't resist the temptation of a new cat. She sent the black and pastoral male cat to be sterilized. Male cat sterilization is a minimally invasive surgery, so the black cat returned to normal in 2-3 days.

这下家中土著居民所有被绝育了,因此 铲屎官立即将母三花猫接回来了家。

Note: The blue circle is a newly neutered black cat, and the small circle is a female calico cat that has just been brought home.

The black cat is straddling the female calico cat.

After the female calico cat enters the home, it interacts with the indigenous residents in the home. The cats got along very harmoniously, never getting into fights, and even quickly started playing with the indigenous cats. When he saw several cats playing and having fun, the cat owner let out a long sigh of relief, because it would be inconvenient if the indigenous cats were xenophobic.

But in the days that followed, the scavenger discovered that the black cat especially liked to play with the calico cat, and sometimes straddled the calico cat. Because the black cat had been neutered long ago, the scavenger did not stop him at all, and was still making fun of the black cat.

铲屎官:”你的装备都被收取了,你还是想做什么?仿佛你真行一样“。

The calico cat was pregnant

It was mid-to-late December, and I noticed that the calico cat's belly was getting bigger and bigger. Anyone who raises kittens knows that a cat with a big belly is not just pregnant but has liver and ascites. The cat was shocked when he thought about it. Since all the male cats at home were neutered, the calico cat was unlikely to be pregnant, so he quickly took the calico cat to the pet clinic.

After an examination that day, the pet doctor told the doctor that the calico cat did not have liver ascites, but was just pregnant, and the cat in the belly was clearly visible under the B-ultrasound.

This conclusion made the dog owner doubtful. After the dog owner explained the whole story to the pet doctor, the pet doctor said that the kittens in the calico cat's belly should be black cats, because male cats can still make female cats pregnant after being neutered.

这则信息让铲屎官一脸懵,而这时躺在查验台子上的三花猫也一脸懵。

三花猫:”是怎么回事?它没有被绝育了没有?“。

Male cats can still have reproductive functions after being sterilized

Frankly speaking, this is not strange at all, and black cats have indeed been sterilized. The only problem is that male cats still have the ability to get female cats pregnant within 40 days after being sterilized. Some male cats can even get female cats pregnant 60 days after being sterilized.

而让母猫怀孕的,仅仅残余在公猫身体的一丁点”种籽“,留意,是残余。现阶段这只黑猫早已爆火,它的粉丝们称它为”猛猫“。

黑猫:”傻了吧,想要我断后?作梦“。

This incident is a fun story for us, but at the same time it also provides lessons. When you raise a new cat, you must pay attention to this issue. Never take a new female cat home after the male cat has just been neutered. At this time, the probability of the female cat becoming pregnant is very high.

If you want to raise a new cat, you can bring the female cat back 3 months after the male cat is neutered. Three months will be enough for the male cat to clean up the remaining "seeds" in its body.

谨记,一定不可以让公猫钻了空档,长出串串猫就麻烦了。
