Thank you so much for the information, and the link! It's very helpful!

Yes, exactly. So no problem about having other healthy siblings. That's normal.

Re: Need information about a cat's health? Click here!
Hey! I was wondering what a twisted, slightly shorter leg could be caused by, and if a cat with that condition would be more likely to have kits with a disability of some kind. @ Wingnettle

Hi there! So...
There may be different causes for a twisted leg. For example, the cat may be born with a deformity due to genetic causes or because the fetus doesn't have enough space in the uterus to grow (the legs can't stretch and the bones/articulations weld badly). Otherwise they may acquire a twisted leg after an accident, for example a car accident or a terrible fall that end in an injury which doesn't heal correctly. Remember Cinderpelt? She got hit by a car and her leg never regained her previous shape. And Briarlight? She fell of that tree and her leg also remained twisted.
Can a cat like that have kits?
I'm not sure. I haven't studied how childbirth works physically, but I think that if the damage concerns legs only, then there's nothing to worry about. The real problem would be if the cat also has something wrong with their pelvis, since the kits have to pass trough that. However, a twisted leg is a matter of tendons, articulations and bones. Birth works trough the musculature, so if the pelvis doesn't have any deformity all should be ok.
I hope this'll be good enough! I tried with my limited 2-years knowledge

Re: Need information about a cat's health? Click here!
Hello, me again. Sorry if this is a bit silly, but if a cat were to have an allergic reaction to salmon, would the symptoms go away by itself at some point? Would the cat be able to survive if, say, their throat and/or tongue swelled up if the swelling remained to a minimum or is that just certain death without the required treatment?

Hello, that's not silly at all!
This is a useful resource -> https://wagwalking.com/cat/condition/salmon-allergy
The symptoms may be mild or severe; if extreme, the cat develops an anaphylactic reaction and the throat/tongue swelling might cause suffocation and death in little time. Otherwise the symptoms will just go away on their own and the cat will just have to avoid that food for good.

Thhhank you very much again, and for the clarification! That resource is indeed very useful! I might maybe still go with mild swelling of the tongue, just not enough to suffocate him, and itching. He's going to hate salmon with a passion.
