About a week or two. Usually, a female cat only takes about eight weeks to give birth, and fetal movement can be felt around the seventh week. A female cat will give birth in about one to two weeks from the time the fetus is touched to fetal movements. At this time, the owner needs to find a quiet and comfortable nest for the female cat to give birth, and at the same time, the owner needs to pay attention to the physical condition of the female cat. If the female cat has not given birth for two hours, or if there is no sign of labor after ten weeks of pregnancy, she needs to seek medical treatment in time for a caesarean section to avoid dystocia.

Things to note when giving birth to a cat:

1. Prepare a clean and comfortable delivery room, and make sure there is no outside interference.

2. Never touch a newborn cat with your hands. This may cause the mother cat to think it is not her own child and abandon it.

3. When giving birth, you should provide the mother cat with food, and put canned food and water next to the mother cat. Giving birth is a laborious job, which consumes a lot of energy and needs to be replenished at any time.

4. If the female cat has not given birth within an hour or if she loses a lot of blood and secretes dark brown secretions, or the female cat is very weak, she needs to be sent to the pet hospital immediately.

5. If the mother cat does not tear open the amniotic membrane and bites off the kitten's umbilical cord, then artificial help is needed to wipe the kitten and tie the umbilical cord. If the kitten's face turns purple, it means it is hypoxic. , then put the kitten's head downwards and forcefully shake the water from its lungs, and keep stroking it.
