Notes on layout of cat delivery room:

1. The space of cat delivery room should be large enough. If the space is not large and there are many kittens, not only will the kittens be unable to move, but even the mother cat may step on the kittens when she moves, so the space must be large, at least 1.5 to 2 times the length of the mother cat.

2. The temperature of the delivery room should be appropriate. Suitable temperature can make cats safer during birth. The suitable temperature for mother cats and kittens is 24-27℃. Being too cold or too hot and having large fluctuations in humidity can increase the risk of respiratory infections.

3. The delivery room should be hidden, quiet and safe. This requires the owner to choose or make a cat nest that is completely sealed with a hole. For cats, unless they trust the owner very much and trust the owner so much that they need the owner's care to give birth to kittens, otherwise the owner needs to leave the delivery room. Place it further away from the living room and bedroom, preferably the guest room, because the guest room is very quiet if there are no guests staying in it for the time being. You just need to check if there is any problem from time to time.

Suggestions for arranging the cat delivery room:

1. Try to prepare the delivery room one month before the cat gives birth, so that the female cat can adapt in advance and be near the delivery room. Prepare food, water and a toilet to help the pregnant cat give birth smoothly.

2. Try to prepare the cat delivery room to be as large as possible, with more mats, and the environment should be darker. Cats will not feel safe in a place that is too bright.

3. Use bricks to raise the cat’s delivery room by 2cm to 5cm to facilitate ventilation and keep it dry.
