Pseudopregnancy does not occur as often in the queen as it does in the bitch. Typically, if a queen does have a pseudopregnancy, it is secondary to non‐fertile ovulation or miscarriage. The signs are usually minimal and may go unnoticed. However, the queen may produce milk and adopt inanimate objects as surrogate kittens. Treatment is unnecessary, and the queen will start her estrus cycle within 30–44 days (Hart and Eckstein 1997).
