When a cat is about to give birth, the female cat should be fed foods rich in protein, fat, vitamins and minerals, such as fish soup, chicken soup, milk, soy milk, etc. Make sure to provide the female cat with plenty of clean drinking water. Since a mother cat will lose a lot of calcium from her milk when breastfeeding her kittens, extra calcium tablets must be given to the mother cat to meet her needs.

Precautions for cats after giving birth:

1. After giving birth, the female cat’s food utensils and other utensils should be disinfected frequently and the environment should be kept sanitary to reduce the growth of germs.

2. There is no need to clean the birthing box of kittens that have just given birth. Because the mother cat will actively lick the fetal fluid from the kittens and eat the meconium excreted by the kittens. After the mother cat gives birth, do not move things around casually, otherwise it will easily disturb the mother cat and cause the mother cat to "move" with her litter.

3. Sometimes cats have insufficient milk, so you can purchase goat milk powder for artificial feeding. If the cat does not have milk within two days after giving birth, goat milk should be supplemented in time. Note that the cat can only drink goat milk and not cow milk, otherwise the cat is prone to stress problems, such as intolerance and diarrhea. If the cat has no milk, it is necessary to artificially feed goat milk and go to the hospital for treatment to induce the cat to produce milk.
