Care tips for cats after giving birth:

1. Place food and water as well as the mother cat’s toilet near the cat’s nest. The feeding principle for postpartum cat mothers is to eat small meals frequently. The caloric consumption of a mother cat during breastfeeding will be 2-3 times that of normal times. The food prepared for the mother cat should be easy to digest. The so-called food immediately after delivery is best to be liquid. For example, add a small amount of egg yolk, broth, etc. to porridge.

2. Cats consume too much physical energy after giving birth and need to rest. Newborn kittens rely on their noses to smell, so parents should always be careful not to let cats crush them. And the delivery room should be placed in a well-ventilated, slightly dark, and quiet place.

3. Cat litters should be disinfected regularly, residual food, feces and contaminated bedding should be removed in a timely manner to keep the surrounding environment clean and hygienic.

4. Cat mothers may experience postpartum hypocalcemia 3 to 17 days after delivery, and may experience symptoms such as stiff gait, malaise, vomiting, and panting. If these symptoms occur, it is best to take them to the hospital and ask a doctor to check the concentration of calcium ions in the blood and prescribe appropriate medicine.

Kitten care matters:

1. Newborn cats have a high body temperature, and the suitable living environment temperature is relatively high, so care must be taken at this stage. Keep warm and provide a warm and quiet environment for cats.

2. To defecate a cat, you can use wet wipes, soft cloth, cotton pads, etc. to gently wipe the cat’s buttocks to stimulate the cat’s excretion.

3. Kittens need to eat milk every 2 to 3 hours. If a kitten doesn't get enough milk, it may suffer from hypoglycemia, and severe hypoglycemia can lead to the kitten's death. When the mother cat's milk supply is insufficient, the owner needs to feed the kitten goat milk powder.
