I think my cat is pregnant and i don't know what i should do do i help her with birth or not?

Answer 1

She will know what to do.

Provide her with a comfortable, towel lined box in a quiet corner.

Answer 2

I do agree that spaying her later is a good idea, if you don't want kittens every year but meanwhile, make sure she eats and drinks well and just let her do the work. She knows what she needs and what to do. How old is she?

You should be around during birth, of course, because if she has more than 3-4 kittens, she might get tired and either not push too hard or not open their birth sacks as quickly as she should (also, how much placenta is too much :):)). When my cat was giving birth, I ended up having to help the last kitten out of its sack and even help her with the birthing a bit (but be SUPER ULTRA careful cause it takes one little squeeze to break something!).

Hope it goes well, does she seem like she's due soon? Can you feel the kitten inside her tummy?

Answer 3

I take it that she's an outside cat. What will usually happen is when she's ready to give birth, she will find a secluded, quiet spot that she feels is safe. You'll know for sure if she is preggers, because she will get a round little belly and her nipples will get bigger. Anyway, you won't need to help her because she will most likely be disappearing to a place that you won't be able to find at first. Just pay attention to her daily, and if one day she disappears for a while you'll know she's had them. She will come back out for something to eat and that's when you can usually follow her to them.

Answer 4

If she is an indoor ca; help her find an out of the way (favorite) spot to give birth. Put something down that she likes to lay on. It should be a spot that is quiet and she will feel safe giving birth in. She may want you to be with her, but chances are it will happen when it is quiet and calm and no one around.

Answer 5

Cats know what to do. Just watch her and keep little nooks and corners clean. She will hide and most likely run from you when its time. You just need to know where she is. Sometimes animals do things like abandon runts. That is why you should make sure you are around but let her do her thing. IF u see her having problems getting one out you can assist but please let her do her thing. Dont be in her face too much or she will run away. THey can take hours between each other... you wont want to sit there that long im sure.

Answer 6

I don't know how far along your cat is in her pregnancy, but if she is not very far along, I would suggest taking her to the vet and having her abort the kittens. And then set up an appointment to have her fixed. I wasn't suggesting the aborting to be cruel. It's just the opposite. Shelters are starting to turn cats away because they have no room. This is a bad sign. It's too early in the season for this to start happening.

If your cat is too far along in her pregnancy to abort her, you don't have to worry about helping her. She can deliver all her kittens by herself.

Answer 7

your cat is having kittens leave her to do the job on her own . mother nature takes over only if kittens are being born head first then action needs to be taken by removing kittens as fast as posible from the birth canel. mother cat has to eat her after birth to get milk supply . even if this is discusting it has to be done or kittens will die had this experence before

Answer 8

Cats are wonderful and independent, make sure she has a decent area, not fluffy, she will need to move around, not loose a baby in her area, not cold, and when she has them check to she is accepting them. What that means is if she is to young you need to alert your vet and they will advise you. Other than that if she is comfortable and a good mother she will do all the work and have beautiful kittens.

Answer 9

for a short and simple answer...

cats are fine. in the wild they didn't need help. her instincts will tell her what to do. just make sure she has food and water and give her a comfortable, peaceful place to have her baby. she will clean it and feed it.

Congrats!!!

Answer 10

After her water breaks, if you are there, you should stand by to help if she gets in distress, but do not interfere. Be aware, she may eat some of them.
