After a cat is pregnant, it can gradually replace the usual cat food with baby cat food or pregnant cat food, because these cat foods have higher nutritional value and are more balanced, which can meet the nutritional needs of cats during pregnancy.
Cats during pregnancy should mainly supplement protein and reduce the intake of carbohydrate and fat. For example, you can give cats some eggs, cook the meat, dairy products and so on. The shovel officer can use these foods as supplementary food and mix them in the cat food at the ratio of 1:9, which can not only ensure balanced nutrition, supplement enough protein, but also increase the flavor of the food.
Pet milk powder for kittens can also be given to pregnant cats, and a little can be fed every day. With the development of pregnancy, cats need to eat more. After nearly 42 days, the cat's food intake should be twice that before pregnancy, but at this time, the cat's food intake will be significantly reduced due to the oppression of organs by the fetus, so the shovel officer needs to divide the food into several portions to increase the feeding times and ensure the cat's nutrition.
Dietary considerations of cats during pregnancy
1, cats should not eat food that is too cold or too hot when they are pregnant.
2. It is necessary to increase the food intake according to the pregnancy time of the cat, and feed it several times or put it directly outside to let the cat eat freely.
3. Pay attention to boiled water for the meat food after the cat is pregnant, and it should be completely cooked, because the cat at this time is not suitable for deworming, and eating raw meat is easy to infect parasites in the body.
4. Don't give cats some barbed fish or bones of chickens and ducks, which will easily scratch the intestines, cause visceral bleeding and lead to serious consequences such as abortion.
5. Don't feed the cat too fat, which will easily lead to the fetus being too big or the mother cat being too fat, and the muscles are slack and difficult to deliver.
Do I need to make any preparations?
1. If giving birth at home, prepare a cardboard box as the recommended delivery room, and try to make the cat get used to staying in this box one week before giving birth.
2. Prepare a delivery box. If the cat has dystocia during production, you can take her to the hospital immediately.
3. Buy a special milk powder for kittens, in case the cat is short of milk when breastfeeding or the cat mother abandons individual kittens, otherwise it can be given to the cat mother.
