What should you do if you have a pregnant cat at home? Is a big-bellied cat troublesome? How much canned food should a pregnant cat eat? Can a pregnant cat be left home alone? Pregnant cats are indeed very important, and we need to patiently care for them.
1. How to check if a cat is pregnant?
The earliest physical sign of cat pregnancy is the color of the nipples changing from light pink to dark pink, and the hair around the nipples will shed, making the nipples particularly prominent. These symptoms should appear within 3 weeks after mating. About 3 to 4 weeks after conception, the belly is obviously round. After this, the fetus is not as easy to feel, but it can still be touched. If necessary, an ultrasound can be done within 2-3 weeks to see the fetus; at 5 and a half weeks pregnant, an X-ray can check the number of kittens.
Editor's reminder: It is very important to determine if a mother cat is pregnant. If pregnancy is not detected in time, poor care may cause miscarriage. If you cannot tell whether your cat is pregnant, you can take her to a veterinarian or ask an experienced person for help. This is the simplest way.
