Weight control can be aided by the owner through discipline regarding feeding and exercise. Roaming tom cats fighting other cats are a neighborhood nuisance. Veterinary bills will be unavoidable with abscesses as a result of fighting. An intact male may also develop the bad habit of marking its territory by urine spraying. Strong urine odors make it almost impossible to live with an unneutered tom cat.
Most cats hide when giving birth, having their litters at night in a dark place.
Consider instead children's books and films or become a foster family for your local animal shelter. Experiencing the miracle of birth is only half of the lesson. The other half lies in teaching responsibility for the fate of the offspring. Even if you find homes for your litter, those kittens are only competing with other kittens desperately in need of homes. Veterinary costs should be considered before acquiring a pet.
