After a female cat successfully gives birth to kittens, she will consume a lot of physical energy and may have some problems. Therefore, as an owner, you must assist the female cat in completing the task of raising the kittens.

When the kitten starts sucking milk, you can feel relieved. When all the babies start sucking milk, you can temporarily relax. If some babies cannot feed, help them get closer to the nipple to let them feed. Female cats prefer babies that are strong and lively, and will throw weak babies into the corner of the birthing box and ignore them. It will die after a long time, so it is best to leave the female cat to nurse alone. ​​​​​​

In addition, you should not think that the baby is cute and frequently get close to the delivery box to watch it. A mother cat who loves her baby always wants to monopolize the baby, so excessive interference will cause the cat to take the baby away from the birthing box and find another place to live.

After providing nutritious food to the female cat, the female cat began to sleep with her head covered after the baby was successfully delivered. Food should be carefully prepared for them to replenish the energy consumed and ensure adequate milk supply. The amount of food eaten can be increased to 2 to 3 times the usual amount, and the frequency of feeding can be increased if necessary. During lactation, eat more calcium-rich foods such as dried fish and cheese. While the female cat is having a meal, clean the birth box and replace the newspaper. Female cats will lick their vaginas to sterilize them, but long-haired cats cannot lick them clean by themselves, so they should be wiped with cotton wool dipped in warm water. The area around the nipples also needs to be scrubbed clean. If you develop a fever due to bacterial infection during delivery, please consult a veterinarian.

The mother cat takes care of all the daily life of the kitten. From birth to about 10 days old, when the baby cat opens its eyes, it only focuses on feeding and sleeping. If the physical condition of the mother cat is normal, the baby will develop significantly on breast milk in only 2 to 3 weeks, so breastfeeding is also recommended for cat babies. Female cats are extremely keen on raising babies. Apart from eating and going to the toilet, they spend the rest of the time in the birthing box, watching over their babies and feeding them milk. In the first 3 weeks before the baby starts to walk, the mother cat uses her tongue to help her urinate and defecate. First lick it to stimulate urination or defecation, and then lick the discharge clean.

It’s great if you can breastfeed, but if the mother cat is sick, has insufficient milk, or refuses to nurse her kittens, artificial breastfeeding must be performed. Prepare 15 ml of cat-specific milk, heat it slightly, and put it into a cat-specific baby bottle. Hold the baby cat gently. Put the pacifier into his mouth and feed him, and a healthy baby will start sucking; a baby with a weak constitution needs to use a dropper to drip milk mixed with glucose onto his tongue bit by bit. You can also twist the cotton wool into a thin stick, dip it in milk, put it to the baby's mouth, and let it suck. The frequency of feeding is preferably once every 2 to 3 hours within 1 week after the cat is born; once every 3 to 5 hours within 2 to 3 days after birth. Every time you drink the remaining milk, you must throw it away and cannot keep it for the next time. Help your baby urinate and defecate. Use soft gauze or paper to gently touch the anus to stimulate excretion. After draining, use cotton wool dipped in warm water to scrub clean. After leaving the mother's warm embrace, let the baby sleep on a hot water bottle covered with a towel or blanket. If there is a female cat nearby who has just given birth, invite her to comeBeing a wet nurse for 2 to 3 days is also a good way.

Feed milk from the time of weaning. Kittens begin to grow deciduous teeth 2 to 3 weeks after birth, and 26 teeth will appear after 1 month. At this time, the female cat can eat the food that the female cat has chewed, so weaning begins. First mix some milk for cats and try feeding it. Dip your fingertips into the cat's tongue or mouth. If the baby licks it with relish, feed it to it bit by bit with a spoon. Wait until the baby gets used to the taste of milk before feeding him milky food. Just add cheese, beef floss, fish, etc. to milk. Special baby food can also be fed. After about one month, the cat can eat the same food as the female cat. Weaning food and breast milk go hand in hand, so you don’t have to worry about the amount, let alone force it. However, it is said that the weaning period is most likely to lead to a partial eclipse, so different foods should be changed. When you first start feeding, use a spoon to let the cat lick it, and finally let it eat directly from the rice bowl.
