I have a feeling the answer is a resounding YES
A woman in work told me today that her daughter's cat is pregnant (it's a stray that they've adopted - they booked her in to be spayed but it was already too late). We've been looking for an older male cat for a while and have been in contact with the local rescues but they don't have anything suitable for us. We already have two female cats who are 4 years old, so we were hoping to get a male about the same age. But a lot of the rescue cats need to be a lone pet or can't be housed with dogs, so we're not having much luck.
I didn't really want a kitten because of the furniture scratching / climbing up the curtains stage, but she's going to have a litter of kittens to rehome and we've been looking for ages... so I've asked her to let me know if there are any boys in the litter. And if there is, I could be adding another furbaby to my zoo brood!
DH isn't too keen on a young kitten either but I think he's secretly pleased that we'll have another boy in the house at last, he's surrounded by girls at the moment!
