Frequently Asked Questions
Cat pregnancy (gestation) typically lasts 63-67 days, with an average of 65 days (about 9 weeks). The exact duration can vary depending on the breed and individual cat.
Early signs include enlarged and pink nipples (around week 2-3), morning sickness, increased appetite, and weight gain. A vet can confirm pregnancy through palpation after 3 weeks or ultrasound after 2 weeks.
Increase food intake by 25-50% during the last trimester. Feed high-quality kitten food which has extra calories and nutrients. Always provide fresh water. Consult your vet for specific dietary recommendations.
Litter sizes typically range from 1-12 kittens, with an average of 4-6 kittens. First-time mothers and older cats tend to have smaller litters. An ultrasound or X-ray can give a more accurate count.
