The number of placentas a cat has depends on the number of births. Generally, when a cat gives birth to several kittens, there will be several placentas. Most cats give birth to around four or five babies, so the number of placentas is around four or five. When giving birth, be sure to carefully count your cat’s placenta.

Precautions for caring for newborn kittens:

1. When a kitten is just born, you must pay attention to keeping warm and prepare a special birth box. You can also Use a constant temperature lamp to help keep cats warm and prevent newborn kittens from catching cold.

2. Newborn kittens obtain nutrition through breastfeeding, so owners do not need to prepare cat food separately. You just need to feed the mother cat well and supervise whether the mother cat feeds the kittens in time. If the mother cat does not feed the kittens in time or because she does not have enough milk, artificial feeding will be necessary. Prepare cat milk powder and professional cat food for kittens to feed.

3. Some kittens often have secretions around their eyes. Do not clean them directly. You can use sanitary napkins dipped in saline to wipe them carefully. Since kittens have very weak resistance, kittens’ supplies must be kept clean and hygienic. Wash your hands with soap before touching kittens’ supplies to prevent bacteria from infecting kittens.

4. Choose a cat nest with a certain height to prevent kittens from crawling out. You can also use a cardboard box, and put blankets or old clothes inside the cardboard box to keep the kitten warm. If you want to put in the baby warmer and other thermal insulation appliances, you need to use a wider cardboard box. Place warm items such as baby warmers in a corner of the carton so that the kitten can adjust the distance if it feels hot.
