CATDOLL : How many months does it usually take for a cat to get pregnant?

Cats can get pregnant after they are one year old. Female cats usually start to go into estrus at around six to eight months old, but estrus represents sexual maturity, not physical maturity. At this time, the female cat is not yet one year old, and its pelvis is not fully developed. In this case, childbirth is very likely to cause dystocia, stillbirth and other accidents. Even if the birth is successful, the physical condition of the kittens born will be relatively poor. Therefore, cats must reach basic physical maturity when mating. Therefore, it is recommended that cats get pregnant after one year old. The risk of childbirth at this time is smaller than that of pregnant cats under one year old.

Things to pay attention to during pregnancy

1. Control the amount of food. Pregnant cats must pay attention to controlling their food intake, especially the intake of nutrients. Excessive nutrition and excessive food intake will cause the cat to become obese, thus affecting delivery.

2. Keep exercising. Pregnant cats can easily become obese, so exercise is essential in daily life. Increasing exercise can largely prevent miscarriage.

3. Keep the body dry. Pregnant cats should not play on the grass or weeds, as they are prone to skin diseases such as ringworm and fleas. If the cat licks the medicine during medication, it will be harmful to the health of the kittens in the belly.

4. Do not be frightened. Do not scare pregnant cats. If the cat is timid, it needs a quiet and independent space. Try not to contact strangers and try not to leave the house!
