Heteropaternal superfecundation is common in animals such as cats and dogs. Stray dogs often produce litters in which every puppy has a different father. Though rare in humans, cases have been documented. In one study on humans, the frequency was 2.4% among dizygotic twins whose parents had been involved in paternity suits.how does that work? Recessive genes with the parents?
He put a ring on her paw. Don't you see? They professed their love for Jesus and conceived a beautiful family in the name of the lord.
Except your very first post (taking "any" out of context, I know). My whole point was that at this point in their life "any shelter" was preferable to delaying in order to "make sure it's the right shelter." There's too much risk to wait. If you FOLLOW, the OP is the one who was considering adopting out to others without getting them fixed first with the concern about shelters killing them being his justification. I told you to stop encouraging him and then you got defensive and assumed that I got those scenarios from what you said. It seems like you are the one who needs to read, my friend.Absolutely nothing in my post said ... not to take them to any shelter.The right thing is not to waste time and risk not getting good owners while they are still easily adoptable and/or give these kittens to people who may not get them fixed.discourage from doing the right thing? what kind of logical wasteland do you come from anyways?We know. Who doesn't know? That's why I made it a point to say how irrelevant that is for such adoptable kittens. Jeez. Quit trying to discourage him from doing the right thing!Make sure it's the right shelter....
As we discussed, healthy tame kittens rarely end up euthanized. Despite the pictures in the article you link to, the risk is so low that it would be irresponsible to not do so in fear of that happening.
Here's a bit of life advice. If you take in a female cat have her fixed ASAP. If she's pregnant they can still spay her, it will basically be a kitty abortion.
Okay, I've got one of the kittens and her mom here. How can I get the runt to stop nursing?
Does he already drink/eat other food? If so mom will wean him - probably by smacking him in the face.
I'd keep mom, and one kitten, and give the rest away. I could possibly be convinced to keep two kittens if there were a couple that had exceptional personalities.
