Caring for a pregnant cat
A pregnant queen needs more energy, so vets often recommend feeding a high-quality kitten food through pregnancy and nursing. Keep her calm, indoors and away from rough play, and arrange a veterinary check to confirm the pregnancy and discuss her care. Avoid most medications and parasite treatments unless your vet approves them for use during pregnancy.
Preparing for kittening
Set up a warm, quiet nesting box lined with soft, washable bedding about two weeks before the due date, and place it somewhere private. Have your vet's number ready in case of trouble. Most cats manage birth on their own, but call for help if she strains for more than an hour without producing a kitten or seems distressed.
