How do you care for a pregnant cat?

Answer by  bubbyboy (9929)

She pretty much can take care of herself. Vets recommend that pregnant cats have their daily feedings increased for the kittens' nutrition and give a safe place to have kittens.

A pregnant cat doesn't need any more care than any other cat. They can pretty much take care of themselves. All you need to do is provide plenty of food and water, and set aside a dark secluded area, as she will find one to give birth if you don't.

A pregnant cat should be kept inside more as she nears time for giving birth. She should be provided with a small secluded spot full of padding, though she may find a different nest. She should be fed a balanced diet, as much as she would like, with extra proteins.

To care for a pregnant cat you must feed her a nourishing diet, clear up any skin conditions, eliminate parasites, and in general prepare the cat for motherhood.

Most pregnant cats do not need intervention. Plenty of food, water, and a warm place to sleep are all the essentials she will need until the kittens are born.

You should feed her food that is designed for kittens or pregnant cats. If you can, make at least one visit to the vet during the pregnancy.

To begin, continue feeding your cat good food until it naturally loses appetite. Have a box with blankets prepared in advance for your cat to give birth in. When birthing, you can hover around and make sure to step in if the cat has any complications.

You should give her fresh water and plenty of good food daily. Provide a safe place for her to have her kittens, especially before she is ready to have them. It needs to be a low traffic, safe area. She will probably be able to have her kittens alone, just check her occasionally to make sure she is okay.
