Could a cat get pregnant thru a "cat cage?" 1 inch spacing in bars..?

Question

My fiance' built a "cat cage" outside of our basement apt window because we felt bad that Mindy (our cat) has been missing out on the sunshine since we moved (we used to live in our own home, now we're in a basement.. very little lighting) So now, she can go outside (safely) and come inside as she pleases. My fiance' hasn't finished building it, but he will tonight.. and I'm starting to worry that Mindy might be able to get pregnant thru the bar spacing? I have seen other stray cats wandering around, I'm not sure on the sexes tho. But is possible for them to get their.. "freak on" thru about 1inch spacing? lol.

And yes, we will be getting Mindy spayed as soon as we can. We just dropped about $450 at the vet for our great dane (she was hit in the head with a baseball, caused some bleeding on the brain) so we're waiting for our finances to recover from that before we add any more bills.

Thank you ;))

Answer 1

Possible, but if she is in there, I don't think she will, but it is still plausible.

Answer 2

If you mean by a Tom cat, then it would be completely impossible as nature provides strict rules as to how cats breed. "Doing it between bars" is not in the equation. Without getting graphic, the tom has to posture himself a certain way to insure penetration and the bars would prohibit this.

Answer 3

The bars would make that difficult, if not impossible.



If you want to see about cheap spaying options, you should probably call your local shelter and see what they have available. Sometimes you can get a huge discount...

Answer 4

yes
