How to judge when a cat has given birth:

1. Touch the female cat’s abdomen. If no hard mass is touched, it means the birth has been completed.

2. After the cat gives birth to all its babies, it will no longer scream in pain and will gradually calm down. If the cat still screams in pain, it means the birth is not finished yet.

3. If the cat still shows strong effort, it may not have finished giving birth.

4. The most intuitive method is to take the cat for a B-ultrasound examination to check whether there is still a fetal heartbeat in the cat’s abdominal cavity and uterus. If not, it means the birth is over. If there is still a fetal heartbeat, the fetus needs to be removed by caesarean section.

Cat postpartum care matters:

1. Breastfeeding is very hard for female cats. Remember to clean her nipples frequently to avoid bacterial growth. Help female cats clean their vulva regularly to reduce the discomfort of lochia discharge.

2. Pay attention to whether the female cat has any postpartum diseases, such as abnormal postpartum bleeding, pus discharge from the vulva, mastitis, etc.

3. Female cats are prone to hypocalcemia 3 to 17 days after giving birth, which manifests as cramps, vomiting, constant breathing, etc. You can supplement calcium by feeding goat milk to cats. .

4. Female cats are very protective of their calves. After giving birth, the female cat is very nervous. As long as someone approaches the kittens, she will feel uneasy. Therefore, the scavenger should prepare a quiet place for the female cat and the kittens. It is a private space, so don't disturb them too much, and don't touch the kittens. Only when the mother cat feels safe will she concentrate on taking care of the kittens.
