If the mother cat gives birth too early, the mother cat will not be able to keep up with the nutrition it needs after supplying nutrients to the kittens during pregnancy and childbirth, which may cause the body to slow down or stop growing, and the body size will be smaller than cats of the same age. It is also more likely to cause dystocia during labor.
