Listen guys sorry to change the subjet but I am in need of some help!!!

An stray cat decided about a month ago to my our home Her Home. Well Now she is pregnant I think she will have kittens any day.
My question is : Do I have to bring it in my house for her to have the kittens,/?? Should I try and make her a nice place out side to have them??
I dont want to bring her in unless I have too, it is kind of wild and has never had any shots, I have a 3 yr old and a english bull dog puppy and I dont want the cat to get scared and scratch either on of them
So If anyone could help me with this I would really appericate it!!!

thank you all and sorry for asking this question on a Drug Forum. but I am in need of some advice..

Don't bring it in if you don't want to, she'll take care of her kittens on her own, you need not worry about that. You might consider calling animal control, they may be able to find someone to adopt her and her babies. If you feed her, she won't go away, the decision is yours.

I love kitties and know a lot about them, I once intended to be a vet, before my disabilities hit me and s****ped that idea.

However, Cats is correct, she will take care of herself and her babies. Since she is a stray, she will more than likely not want to have her babies in your house anyway, she is used to being outside and feels safer out there where she can protect herself and her baby furries and move them or run as need be.

If you bring her in, and she isn't very used to houses and people, you could be setting yourself up for trouble, your fears are justified there. She could get very, very defensive, endangering you, your child and your dog. Best to leave her outside, just feed her if you are worried about it, or as Cats said, call animal control and let them take care of her.

As to the rabies, well a very, very low percentage of cats ever catch that, so that is probably not worth worrying about, but she could have several kinds of worms, parasites and skin parasites that could infect not only your house and dog, but you and your child as well.

My information is not guaranteed correct. I do not get them right all the time, but I do enjoy the hunt~

Thanks GUys.. I want to keep her as an outside cat she is beautiful.. She would come in the House if I let her, when I ipen the door to let the dog out if I dont shut it fast enought the cat will come on in.. I thought I would let her have the kittens, and then when the kittens got big enough to just give them away..

I was just scared something would get the kittens outside or that it was to cold for them.. it is not to cold now it maybe gets in the upper 40s at nite . and I have never experinced a pregnant cat, so i am cluess to it all..
when it first came it would not ler you get near it, now when you walk out the door it meows and rubs all over yur legs, so she is getting used to us.. I brought around my dogs old dog house and put it where she lays, I am hoping she will get in there and have the kittnes,, who knows guess I will find out.

Jessika, You can talk about whatever you want! Don't worry about toes. People have 10 of them []!

Not so clueless,
