Your cat is pregnant, now what?

Your cat is pregnant, now what? There are things that you can do in this situation. Once again, this is a combination of on-line research, opinions and information from various publications. Always ask a vet for further information if you cat is pregnant.

1. Start feeding her kitten chow. At first, with any change in food, mix in a little with her regular food. Then gradually change over her food over the course of the week.
2. Later in the pregnancy she will start searching for birthing dens. Although the place not be approved by yourself, the best you can do is provide blankets and or towels that you do not mind disposing later. This will also be likely the place in which she gives birth.
3. When the kittens are born she will have an urge to move them so just follow from a distance and move the bedding or nesting accordingly.
4. The kittens should have their first vet visit when they are 7 or 8 weeks old.
