A brother and sister from the same litter can create their own litters by the age of five months. It is not a good idea to allow this to happen. Mother cats or dogs can become pregnant while nursing. It is important to keep a nursing mother away from other adult cats/dogs of the opposite sex. One can spay a mother as soon as the kittens or pups are weaned, (5 to 6 weeks for kittens and 4 to 5 weeks for puppies) and because of the risk of pregnancy this should be done.
Most frequently, it is recommended that female kittens be spayed at six months of age, or preferably before their first heat. The surgery, called ovariohysterectomy, involves anesthetizing the animal, and the veterinarian makes an incision through which the cat's ovaries and uterus are removed.
