Question
my cat had kittens 11 weeks ago i have kept one of them and intend to get her dressed can she still be dressed if she is still producing milk i have done everything possible to keep the kitten away from her to stop him suckling on her, or is there any medication i can get to stop her from producing milk
Hi Arlene,
By dressed do you mean neutered? If so then she needs not to be producing milk. You can ask your vet for something to dry her up. There are meds that can do that. By now the kit should be weaned. I know they are little buggers sometimes but just keep on trying to keep him away from mom. Good luck.
Ciao, Karen

Some thoughts to carry with you.
A Cat's 10 Commandments
My life is likely to last 15-20 years. Any separation from you is likely to be painful.
Give me time to understand what you want of me.
Place your trust in me. It is crucial for my well-being.
Don't be angry with me for long and don't lock me up as punishment. You have your work, your friends, your entertainments. But I have only you.
Talk to me. Even if I don't understand your words, I do understand your voice when speaking to me.
Be aware that however you treat me, I will never forget it.
Before you swat me, before you strike me, remember that I have teeth that could draw blood. And claws to strike back. And yet I choose not to attack you.
If I don't act right then have me checked to see what is wrong.
Please take care of me when I grow old. You too will grow old.
On the difficult journey, on the ultimate difficult journey, go with me please. Never say you can't bear to watch. Don't make me face this alone. Everything is easier for me if you are there. Because I love you so.
Take a moment today to thank God for your pets. Enjoy and take good care of them. Life would be a much duller, less joyful thing without God's critters. Pass this on.
