The number of litters a cat gives birth to is determined by the number of eggs ovulated. Cats are animals that stimulate ovulation, so the fertilization rate is quite high. Generally speaking, female cats can give birth to 3 to 6 kittens per litter. This number is uncontrollable. If both female and male cats have normal reproductive functions, , and the number of fetuses is small, it is considered that the number of matings is not enough. Ensuring your cat’s nutrition and health is more helpful for its breeding.

Precautions for cats after giving birth:

1. Cats should not be vaccinated, dewormed or bathed during pregnancy, and cats should not always be scavenged out of curiosity. Touching the cat's belly can cause harm to the fetus and the mother cat. If you have a multi-cat household, it is recommended to isolate the pregnant cat from other cats.

2. Diet. Calories in the early stages of pregnancy should be increased slightly to allow the female cat's weight to increase steadily. The caloric requirement is about 100Kcal/kg/day. Do not supplement too much nutrition, as this will make the kitten bigger and easily cause dystocia for the mother.

3. Care. The pregnancy period of cats is about 63-66 days, but some may last as long as 71 days. Pay attention to whether there are signs of premature birth.

4. Expecting to give birth. Make an opening in the carton 10-15 cm from the bottom to facilitate the entry and exit of the female cat and prevent the kittens from falling out. It is also best to have a lid, which can be opened to take care of the kitten when necessary.
