Could my 3 mth old kitten be having a false pregnancy?

she started developing lumps in her belly just after going in heat. she's not been outside %26amp; i have 2 other female cats, both fixed. i'm taking her to the kitty dr just to be safe. thank-you in advance for any helpful answers. should i be worried about tumors. she was wild when i got her.Could my 3 mth old kitten be having a false pregnancy?
It's possible... some have such strong mother urges, they will actually lactate after the heat cycle.


I would say you are on the right track to take her to the vet...


I wouldn't really worry about tumors until you take her to the vet... she is very young.Could my 3 mth old kitten be having a false pregnancy?
3 month old kittens do NOT have false pregnancies, nor do they go into heat at that age. if this baby has lumps the vet is the best advice.
A 3 month old (only 12 weeks!) kitten should not have gone into heat yet, nor should it be having a false pregnancy. If it's stomach is getting larger or hard, it could be worms or other issues.





If you found her, she might be older than 3 months, and just be small, in which case these things would make a little more sense.
