How to find out that a cat is pregnant: advice for beginning cats

A cat in the house ... Immediately before your eyes, a melodious picture appears: a cat playing with children, a bunch of medals and cups from the exhibition where your pet was visited, the admiration of friends, girlfriends and neighbors. But not everything is as easy and fun as it seems. You have to take care of the cat: to bathe, comb it, etc. At the exhibition, too, just do not go: the design of documents, carrying, again, bathing, combing, etc. But it's all nonsense, it's one week or even a day. I repeat, all this is nothing compared to the pregnancy of your pet.

Beginning owners of cats immediately ask a question like "how to find out that a cat is pregnant." Many newcomers, when the "judgment day" comes, are lost and sometimes their cats simply do not survive during childbirth due to inattention and carelessness of their owners. Only some especially careful owners, who carry their favorite every two weeks to a veterinarian who can easily determine the pregnancy of a cat, ask for help from a specialist. But this does not mean that to determine the pregnancy you need to carry it all the time to the vet.

To find out if a cat is pregnant, you can by analyzing her behavior and looking closely - after all, pregnancy is visible from the first days. Although, saying "from the first days," I probably exaggerated. The minimum, through which after fertilization, pregnancy can be detected - on the 20th day. But this can only be done by an experienced veterinarian. And we, ordinary mortals who do not have veterinary education, can see the pregnancy in a cat for a whole 10 days later. But you can wait a little, is not it? But often, when we type on the Internet the query "how to find out that a cat is pregnant," the search engine produces something that can not be at all. And advice novices have to ask veterinarians or life- hardened cat-owners. And for those who want to find out how the cat's pregnancy is going on , and how to generally determine that the whiskered-striped "in an interesting position", I will try to outline here the main features, especially for beginners in the cat's business. These signs are a heap, but, in my opinion, the most notable are only six.

How to know that a cat is pregnant?

The first sign of pregnancy is the absence of another period of estrus. The cat behaves calmly, does not howl, does not ride on the floor, does not crawl behind the owner. In general, behaves as usual at a time when I should do the above.

The second sign is a sharp decrease, and then a gradual increase in appetite. By the end of pregnancy, the cat will eat a lot.

The third sign is the swelling of the nipples. Swipe across the skin of the cat just below the ribs and under the fingers feel two rows of small tubercles. Over time, they become bigger and turn pink. If you notice this, it means that the cat already has a third-fourth week of pregnancy.

From the fifth week, the cat begins to increase in the stomach, especially if it wears from three kittens. This is difficult not to notice. But if you released this moment out of sight, then the next sign should dispel your doubts.

The fourth sign is vomiting in the morning. This is due to hormonal changes and stretching of the uterus. It's not at all scary, by the end of pregnancy everything will pass.

The fifth sign is increased drowsiness. The cat will sleep most of the day. Even if you let a pet on the street, then during pregnancy it becomes a homebody.

The sixth sign is that the cat starts looking for and nesting a nest. Here you can help her. Place a large box in a darkened and quiet place, place there cloth and paper, put a cat in the box and go from there. If the nest, made by you, she likes, she will shift there everything in her own way. If you do not like it - do not worry, when the cat "wants" to give birth (you will learn about it by her troubled behavior and continuous walking after you), you can always put it in this box. In the meantime, just in case, close all the cabinets, pack the empty boxes and leave your box in sight.

In addition to the nest with a nest, you need to take care of the nutrition of the cat. Therefore, owners often ask veterinarians not only how to find out that the cat is pregnant, but also about what should be the diet of the future tailed mother. Products in different sources are indicated different, but the meaning is the same - you need to feed the cat high-calorie food. If you prefer pre-prepared food, then give her a kitten feed that is rich in calories. If the cat eats natural food, it is recommended to feed it with the liver, fresh fish, you can give her the meat of fatty herring, mackerel, sardines, salmon or trout. Forages or natural food you need to feed the cat three to four times a day.

And do not forget to support the cat morally - during pregnancy, it, like people, is not easy. During childbirth, your moral support will also become physical. But this is about another time.
