Yes. Pregnant cats can become drowsy. Cats like to sleep after they are pregnant. They always like to lie in a quiet, warm and bright place when they have nothing to do. Their sleeping posture is mostly lying down with their bodies stretched out. The cat has become lazier and rarely exercises. During the cat's pregnancy, the owner also needs to supplement the cat with appropriate vitamins, trace elements and other nutrients, and pay attention to the balance of nutrition to avoid affecting the development of the fetus. Especially in the later stages of pregnancy, for the sake of the health of the mother cat and fetus, owners should allow the cat to maintain appropriate and gentle exercise every day.

Symptoms of cat pregnancy:

1. After 21 days of pregnancy, the female cat’s nipples will turn pink or red.

2. After four weeks of pregnancy, the breasts begin to gradually enlarge, and even lactation occurs. The hair around the nipples gradually falls off and the nipples protrude. This is preparation for lactation.

3. As the baby cat grows in the belly, the mother cat’s food intake increases, and its weight will gradually increase by about 1 to 2 kg.

4. The female cat’s vulva will become enlarged and red in color. Due to the pressure of the uterus on the bladder, urination will become frequent.

5. At 8 weeks of pregnancy, the female cat’s abdomen will sag and her movements will be slow. Before giving birth, her appetite will decrease, she will be a little irritable, and her nipples will leak milk. At this time, remember to prepare the place where the cat gives birth. A little life is about to be born.
