Is Your Cat Expecting?

A cat's pregnancy lasts approximately nine weeks, and recognizing the signs is essential. If in doubt, consult your vet. During pregnancy and lactation, it's crucial to provide your cat with the nourishment required to support her and her upcoming litter. While dry food remains an option, wet food is often easier to digest.

Pregnant or lactating cats benefit from increased protein intake to meet the nutritional demands of multiple kittens. Kittens are born blind and rely on their mother's milk, so maintaining the mother cat's health before birth is vital.

Helpful Tips for Pregnant and Lactating Cats

- Recognize signs of pregnancy: An attention-seeking, rolling behavior, increased meowing, and decreased appetite are common indications.

- Prepare a comfortable cat bed for the expectant mother to rest with her future kittens. Choose a quiet, low-traffic location.

- Ensure access to fresh water and food bowls for both the mother cat and her future litter.
