A cat is typically pregnant for about 63 to 65 days, or roughly two months.
While this is the general timeframe, slight variations can occur. Factors influencing gestation length include the cat's breed, litter size, and individual health.
Key Considerations for a Pregnant Cat:
- Pre-Pregnancy Care: Ideally, cats should be vaccinated and dewormed before becoming pregnant. Consult with a veterinarian for the best course of action.
- Nutritional Needs: Pregnant cats require a special high-calorie diet to support both their own health and the developing kittens. Your vet can recommend suitable food.
- Veterinary Care: Regular check-ups are essential to monitor the cat's health and the progress of the pregnancy.
- Preparing for Kittens: Create a safe and comfortable nesting area for the cat to give birth in.
