It is very exciting to find that you have a pregnant cat, but it also takes a lot of responsibility. While waiting to greet the cat's baby, please follow the tips below to ensure that your mother's offspring are healthy.
1) Keep her indoors
Pregnant cats staying outside are more vulnerable because they carry offspring. Moreover, you should never let pregnant cats stay outside in bad weather, just in case she goes to work.
2) Give her the right food
Cats need more nutrients during pregnancy, especially calcium and protein. Calcium deficiency can lead to heat or eclampsia. This is a serious, life-threatening condition that can occur during late pregnancy or childbirth because calcium levels in the blood are dangerously depleted.
3) Stay comfortable
You will want to make your cat have a comfortable nest or bed. There are several ways to do this, but usually, it is done with a box full of newspapers or towels. Make sure the bed is ready at least two weeks before giving birth. Also, please put it in a location that she is familiar with.
4) Stay away from other cats
Pregnant cats need their privacy. If you have other cats in your home, find a way to isolate them from each other to avoid problems.
5) Pay close attention to your cat
Even if your cat is not pregnant, this is necessary, but as mentioned above, pregnant cats are more vulnerable. When she gives birth, you will want to be present so that you can help her or bring her to the vet if needed.
6) Take her to check
An initial visit is important to confirm pregnancy and test for complications. Regular checks must be made to ensure that pregnancy is normal and the kitten is healthy. The veterinarian can also answer questions for you, give you tips about cats, and information about birth expectations.
7) Use non-caking cat litter on her litter box
Cats usually give birth in their own litter box. If the litter is agglomerated, this may be unsafe because the mother may refuse to clean the newborn and may cause the baby to drown in their own fluid. Unblocked trash will help keep her and her offspring clean. You will want to avoid this as much as possible to help your cat become familiar with other places of birth.
Following all of these steps will put you on the right track to provide a healthy pregnancy for your cat. Do some research on childbirth so that you can be prepared when important days come. Remember to ask your veterinarian if you have any questions or if you feel uncomfortable during the cat's pregnancy.
