Postpartum care for female cats:

1. Clean up the lochia after giving birth and wipe the female cat’s body with warm water. When a female cat gives birth, she will produce a lot of blood viscosity, causing her hair to be messy and sticky. You can soak a towel with warm water and wipe her body, but do not bathe the cat directly, otherwise it may cause the cat to catch a cold.

2. Pregnancy and childbirth of female cats will consume a lot of energy and physical strength. The body is very weak and needs to be supplemented with nutrition immediately. In addition to cat food, provide protein-rich meat: such as nutritious and easy-to-digest fish, hypoallergenic chicken, high-protein beef, high-energy egg yolks, etc.

3. The female cat’s water requirement increases greatly when it enters the lactation period, so you must pay attention to replenishing the female cat’s water. If the female cat doesn’t like to drink water, she can replace it with crucian carp soup or chicken soup.

4. Pay attention to calcium supplementation for cats. Female cats are prone to hypocalcemia 3 to 17 days after giving birth, which manifests as cramps, vomiting, constant breathing, etc. You can supplement calcium by feeding goat milk to cats.

Kitten care matters:

1. Kittens cannot excrete on their own, so generally the mother cat will lick the kitten’s anus and urethra to promote excretion. You can imitate the female cat and use wet and warm gauze or towel to gently massage the kitten's urethra and anus to help stimulate excretion.

2. You cannot bathe the kitten, but you can use a towel to wipe or clean it locally, and the kitten must be dried as soon as possible.

3. 2-month-old kittens have begun to grow baby teeth. At this time, the kittens can gradually eat some cat milk cakes. February is the time when you can teach milk cats to use cat litter to go to the toilet. What needs special attention is that you can deworm the cat at this time.
