1. In the third week of pregnancy, the female cat's nipples will turn red, which is also commonly known as "pink".

2. The weight will gradually increase 1-2kg, depending on the number of kittens in the belly.

3. The abdomen will bulge slightly, so be careful not to touch the mother cat's belly to find the fetus, which will easily cause fatal damage to the kitten.

4. The behavior of the female cat will become maternal.

If you don't know the exact mating date, you can predict the date of the kitten's birth six weeks after the nipple turns pink.

The average pregnancy of cats is 63 days. Kittens born earlier than 58 days are weak and easy to die, while kittens born later than 72 days are too big, which is easy to cause dystocia and may die in their stomachs.

If the female cat does not give birth within 65 days, it is recommended to go to the pet hospital for consultation in a day or two.

You should prepare the place where the mother cat will give birth in advance. When you see the mother cat's belly hanging down, she will give birth, usually at night.

Two weeks before the mother cat gives birth, the delivery box should be ready for the mother cat. The delivery box should be placed in a quiet and warm place, covered with towels or old sheets. When you are ready, you can take the mother cat into the delivery box for her to have a look. If she chooses another place, she can move the delivery box there. The delivery box can be an open carton.

I don't know how big your cat's belly is, but if your cat has been digging in the nest now, the expected date of delivery should be two or three weeks.

Don't try to watch the mother cat give birth curiously, it will cause the mother cat's anxiety.

The kitten is the weakest in the first three days of her life, so she can't adjust her body temperature. Therefore, the mother cat will always accompany the kitten. There is nothing to worry about whether the mother cat eats or drinks. She will eat placenta for nutrition.

In three days, the mother cat will come out to eat. Why don't you give her some fish and meat, and at the same time, you can give her some broth or fish soup to increase the nutrition of the mother cat. It costs a lot of money to have kittens.

After a week, if the mother cat doesn't take the initiative to bring the kitten out, don't peek, let alone touch it, otherwise the mother cat will feel unsafe and move with the kitten in her mouth. If she smells too much human, the mother cat may eat the kitten.

Usually after four weeks, the mother cat will take the initiative to take the kitten out of the production area. At this time, if she trusts you, you can hug the kitten.
