Help! I've Got a Pregnant Cat!

So yourself a pregnant cat. He was a stray dog that adopted you? You heard a plaintive meowing, opened the back door and she was there. You won her confidence, gave him some material and a glass of water, spent some time petting her and left her. The next day again. And before many days have passed, as you decide who has no collar, no address tag, which you yourself a new companion cute. Besides not having an address label, which was not a sign that said "I am a pregnant cat." Or maybe you've had your cat since he was a set of kitten fur. It was always going to be a strictly indoor cat, no need to sterilize everybody to do, never ever was, was never a pregnant cat. But ... ... carried out, and she's pregnant! What next? Take your cat pregnant with your veterinarian to be examined, and the vet confirm if she is really pregnant. Do not let the pregnancy continue? Before replying to yourself "Yes, of course!" are some important considerations to think about. Your pregnant cat could produce a litter of about four or five kittens, will be maintained at all? "No one can say," but I'm sure you will find good homes for them. " Do not be so sure, every year tens of thousands of cats are put down, simply because there are good homes for them. If you ask one of your friends if you want a kitten, the parties may agree, if the mites were good, but I'll take care of him long term? How long before the novelty wears off, ending another wildcat kitten? If your friend wants a kitten that can take one from a shelter. What is the age of your pregnant cat? If less than one year, or more than eight years, your cat does not have an easy job with the party, and the possibility of deformed kittens is increased. The veterinarian may advise abortion for this reason alone. Be aware of how carefully the commitment of a house full of kittens again, going to take much of your time and attention. How do other members of your family feel about it, you have to show more consideration. You have a special place of safety for your cat and her kittens in which shall be safely separated from other cats, other pets and small children. Okay, you've made the decision that your pregnant cat give birth. Or perhaps your veterinarian has reported that it is too late for the pregnancy to consider abortion. During the latter stages of pregnancy, feed your cat small meals frequently, remember that your stomach is full of little and you will not be able to handle a full meal once. You need plenty of water. Get tips on kitten care and remember also that mother cats need a special diet, one that is high in nutrients. Of course, as soon as possible after birth, have your cat neutered to prevent the same thing again. Not you.
