Cat A bore B and C; B and C live together; B bore D; now C and D mated and are pregnant – is this inbreeding?

How Long Does a Cat’s Heat Yowling Last?
A queen's heat yowling lasts about 3-7 days and repeats every 2-4 weeks. She yowls day and night (worse at night), rubs on you, and may try to escape and mate with stray cats. Spay if not breeding, secure doors/windows, and wait until she's a year old before any mating.

The vet did an ultrasound on my cat; why is my cat’s belly enlarged?
An enlarged belly can be from gas, constipation, ascites, organ enlargement, tumors, or pregnancy.

If stable, give probiotics and digestive aids; if poor, follow vet's advice.

Why does a cat keep rolling on the floor? Cats can't speak, so they express emotions through behavior, and rolling is one such signal, but the reason differs by situation. Our pet care specialists detail the reasons.
My cat sleeps too much and is barely awake—what should I do?
If healthy with normal eating and litter, lots of sleep is normal: adults average 12-14h, kittens and seniors near 20h, so three-quarters of the day is sleep. But if awake time shows not eating, not playing, lethargy or other signs, it may be illness-related sleepiness—many diseases start with sleeping more. Observe; if unsure, see a vet.
My cat has clear liquid at its mouth
Clear mouth liquid has many causes: just after vomiting (water mixed with airway/stomach mucus); bitter or irritating food/drugs triggering drooling; or stomatitis, mouth ulcers, or gingivitis. With nasal discharge too, a respiratory disease or choking while drinking is possible. Match the situation and see a vet if unsure.
Gums
From the photo the cat's gums show no redness, ulcers, or abnormality and look normal; healthy gums are light pink. Yellowing, bleeding, or swelling would suggest gingivitis or periodontitis needing care. The kitten is teething, when mild redness, fever, or low appetite is normal, just feed well.
