    No this is not extraordinary. that's nature. How previous are your 2 cats? do you recognize the thank you to look after them and their kittens? have you ever the money for vet expenses if issues circulate incorrect? As to what share lady cats do male cats impregnate of their lifetime? how long is a chew of string? If he's the only total male in a 5 mile radius he will mate with each and every unspayed lady in that section. Then he will do an identical returned next time they arrive on warmth. and could gain this 3 hundred and sixty 5 days in 3 hundred and sixty 5 days out till yet another tom comes alongside and drives him off or kills him. OH, he's often your cats sire. and ought to even have mated with a daughter of his to produce them. so so which you may have problems if that's the case. Beulah

    What a stupid question, Of course a sibling cat can impregnate another. Did you think there was some kind of 'fail safe' that would prevent this? (scratches head!)

    Yes. Keep them separated till they are neutered and spayed. This should be done about 3-4 months old. Kittens as young as 4 months can and do breed.

    most definitely they can. get them fixed. because its not pretty when you inbreed cats or any animal. you get mental defects, blindness, sick all the time. i have a cat that was inbreed not by choice though. but he is blind, sick all the time, has bowel controlling issues among with other stuff and he is only two years old. just get them fixed.

    oh yeah i adopted him and his mom after the breeding took place the people let them breed and then booted them outside to fend for themselves.

    Yes, they both still have functional reproductive organs and desires to mate. They will forget they were from the same mother. To prevent unwanted kittens you should get all of them spayed or neutered.

    Yah they can... It happened with my dogs and the puppy came out mutant with two sets of teeth and rough skin. It can happen with any animal... So you might want to get the male fixed if you really dont want it to happen for its way easier then a female.

    They can but they wouldn't. Cat don't interbreed within the immediate family unit. Somehow they just know they're siblings and therefore, not available to each other. It's nature's way of avoiding interbreeding and in turn, genetic problems with the offspring.

    Yes..I would get one or both fixed so you wont have any problems.
