It is important to monitor the diet of a pregnant cat and buy special, correct formulations.
Thanks to a balanced diet, the risk of pathologies in kittens is reduced.
How to feed a cat correctly if she is pregnant
The needs of a pregnant cat include feeding the pet food rich in vitamins and proteins.
Feed your pregnant cat small meals 4-5 times a day.
It is important not to overfeed the animal, as this can cause labor to be longer and more difficult.
Two weeks before their expected due date, the amount of food for the cat should be reduced.
What is the best food to feed a pregnant cat
You can switch your pet to special food for pregnant cats. Such food contains all the necessary nutrients: vitamins, minerals and trace elements.
If your pet's food remains natural, choose lean meats - turkey, chicken, rabbit, beef.
Also, add some cereals and dairy products to your diet.
You can also feed your cat offal and boiled chicken eggs. For example, you can add chicken liver or hearts to your pet's diet.
You should not feed your pregnant cat salty or spicy food, raw meat, canned food, egg fat or oxidized food.
Change drinking water daily and wash drinking and food bowls regularly.
It is also necessary to consult with a veterinarian about nutrition and the prescription of additional vitamins for the animal.
The doctor will decide if your pet's current diet is appropriate and, if necessary, will write you a prescription for cat vitamins.
