Preparation items for Chartres cats before giving birth:

1. Let the cat get used to the birthing place: The owner prepares a suitable cat birthing place and can let the pet cat 3 days before the expected delivery date. The cat will begin to get used to the delivery place. If the delivery room can be prepared in advance, the cat will get used to the delivery room and can give birth safely.

2. You can also make your own delivery room: There are delivery rooms for pet cats to give birth to, but they can also be easily made using cardboard boxes, with cat-scented towels placed inside. You can choose the size of the cardboard box. It is suitable if the cat can lie down easily. In addition, in order to prevent the cat's belly from getting stuck, a piece of the carton should be cut out and an entrance and exit should be set up.

3. Estimated delivery date: counting from the time when the female cat goes into heat, the delivery period is 50-60 days later. Of course, it’s best to ask a veterinarian to check it when the abdomen starts to swell, but you can also roughly estimate the number of days from the onset of estrus.

Items that Chartres cats need to prepare before giving birth:

1. Alcohol-iodine (used to sterilize scissors and sterilize before cutting the umbilical cord).

2. Glucose supplement solution and goat milk powder (some female cats are exhausted after giving birth and need to replenish energy in time).

3. Medical scissors (some female cats are inexperienced as first-time mothers and cannot bite the umbilical cord).

4. Cat milk bottle (some female cats have insufficient milk and need to be artificially fed).

5. Medical gloves (used for delivery, and gloves must be worn when touching kittens).

6. Cotton thread (used to tie the umbilical cord about 4cm, and then cut it with scissors).
