I was told that a cat can have another cat nurse her new litter. Is this true?

Only if one of the cats from her first litter is a mother also.

i dont know for a fact but 6 months is too younge. the other kitten hasnt produce milk. because its body hasnt gotten ready for babies.but there is a chance that if just maybe that one of the other litter already had babies recently she could nurse them but that would drain because she was made to only have milk for her own younge.

i think so

Only if’s she’s old to milk and if she has milk.

female dogs can even nurse kits (it was on the news) so that would be possable for what you said to happen.But the nurser has to have milk.

Cats in feral colonies routinely raise their kittens communally and will nurse each other’s kittens without preferential treatment of their own, so the people who said that a mother cat will only ever nurse her own young is simply wrong.

That said, cats, like all mammals, only produce milk after giving birth. If the other cat hasn’t had a litter recently, then she will not be able to nurse any kittens.

I dont think that is true, because I was told that only the mother nurses the young.
