It sounds like if your cat is pregnant and she is carrying another cat's kittens around she is just exhibiting mothering behavior. It doesn't mean she is in labor, she is just practicing. Most likely when she goes into labor you won't even know it till you find kittens and the mess that goes along with the birth. Have a box ready in a closet or other place she feels is safe and quiet. Cats generally take around 60-70 days from the time they get pregnant to the time they give birth. 24 hours before she gives birth she may leak a milky discharge from her nipples (sometimes cats who have had multiple litters do this earlier in the pregnancy though), and really look as though she is looking around for a safe place. If you know how to keep track of a cat's temperature, normal temperature in cats is between 100.4°F and 102.5° F. If her rectal temperature drops suddenly it is almost positive that she is about to give birth.

What age should you stop picking up cats by their neck?
Ideally, you should never pick up a kitten or cat up by their neck. Mother cats do this when the kittens are very young, as they cannot pick them up any other way. Humans, on the other hand, can pick up cats with both our hands, so have no need to pick kittens up by their scruff. Always support their back-end when picking a cat up, as not to cause injury.

not really. animals (mostly cats and dogs) don't like to be alone. most likely, the cat (or dog in some cases) is lonely and wants to feel important. I've seen and heard of dogs actually taking all phones (portable and cell phones) and keeping them because they make noises, so they think they're alive. it was on animal planet once. if the animal has had babies before and they've been taken away, they most likely miss them...its like filling a gap in there hearts.
