FAQ

How long is a cat in labor for the first time?

  • After approximately 15-18 days of cat pregnancy, you may notice that your pet’s nipples become enlarged and red – this is known as ‘pinking-up’.
  • Similar to morning sickness in humans, your pregnant queen may go through a stage of vomiting. 
  • If you notice that her sickness becomes frequent, or she is at all unwell in any other way, contact your vet.
  • Your queen’s tummy will start to swell, but avoid touching it so you don't risk hurting mum or her unborn kittens. 
  • There can be other causes behind abdominal swelling, so monitor your cat closely for any signs of illness and consult your vet if you are worried.
  • A mum-to-be will gradually gain between 1-2 kg (depending on the number of kittens she is carrying) - this is a strong sign that she is pregnant.

What do you feed a cat after she gives birth?

  • When choosing foods, it is always best to ask your veterinarian which food they would recommend.
  • Be careful not to overfeed your pregnant cat during her early weeks of pregnancy. 
  • Yes, she needs plenty of good nutrition for herself and her kittens.
  • However, the kitten food contains the extra calories and nutrients she needs. 
  • If she becomes overweight, it can cause problems for her and the kittens. 
  • Gradually transition to the kitten food after you have confirmation of her pregnancy, but do not increase the amount she is fed unless she is underweight or acting hungry. 
  • Monitor her body condition during her pregnancy with help from your veterinarian.

How can I tell how many weeks pregnant my cat is?

  • The Cat pregnancy calculator is based on the fact that gestation in Cats lasts for about 63 days (almost two months).
  • You need to remember that nature often doesn't adhere to strict rules – this period may vary from 58 to even 68 days.
  • The healthy due date of your cat is actually a range between 58-71 days after mating. 
  • The average cat pregnancy length is 63 days or 9 weeks.
  • This cat pregnancy calculator estimates the earliest possible delivery as well as the latest possible delivery.
