The English word for pregnant female cats is [QUEEN]. For those of you who take good care of them, during this special period, do you need to provide super-level [Queen] care to the masters of the family? ?

1. How to tell if a cat has a baby in its belly?

Female cats are mostly sexually active in spring and autumn, and their first love is usually between 6 and 8 months old. Some cats may be sexually active as early as 4 months!

1. Generally, between the 15th and 18th days of pregnancy, a cat’s nipples will gradually turn pink and enlarge (but some cats will also behave like this when they are in heat, so it is not very reliable to judge whether they are pregnant based on their nipples). When you are about 35 days pregnant, the changes in your nipples will become more obvious, and your belly will also expand more obviously. When delivery is close, white milk can be squeezed out by gently squeezing the cat’s nipples~

2. When a cat is about 49 days pregnant, the cat’s belly looks “pear-shaped” from the top. But don’t confuse a cat that has eaten fat with a pregnant one. A cat that has eaten fat will have fat all over its body, including a thick neck and legs. Thick~ When I was pregnant, only my belly was round, and there wasn’t much change in other places.

2. How to know how many babies a cat is pregnant with?

Experienced veterinarians can feel the gestational sac that appears in the uterus after pregnancy at 17-25 days of pregnancy by gently touching the cat's abdomen. But a more accurate judgment requires taking X-rays and B-ultrasound examination.

When X-rays are taken about 43-45 days into pregnancy, the kitten’s bones can be clearly seen~ (please rest assured that X-rays at this time will not cause harm to pregnant cats and kittens). And about 20 days later, the beating of the kitten's heart detected through B-ultrasound examination is also their way of telling you "I'm fine~! Please don't worry about me!"

3. Do I need to take my pregnant cat to the hospital for a checkup?

It is highly recommended that the cat go to the hospital for examination 2-3 weeks after mating. In addition to judging the condition of the kitten, the doctor will also give you some suggestions on the cat’s diet during pregnancy. And a very important point, the doctor will tell you about the approximate condition of the cat. When is the due date~

IV. Can cats be vaccinated, given medicine and dewormed during pregnancy and lactation?

It is highly not recommended to do this! Most of these products are harmful to pregnant cats and kittens. Please consult your pet doctor if you can use some special deworming products and drugs.
