Cat pregnancy is an exciting time, but it also requires a lot of attention and care from us.

In this article, we will discuss some things you need to pay attention to when cats are pregnant at 8 months, and give some suggestions to ensure that cats can survive the pregnancy smoothly.

02

Pregnancy preparation

Before the cat becomes pregnant, some preparations are necessary. First of all, the cat’s age should be between 1 and 1.5 years old, so that its body will be more fully developed. Secondly, the cat’s weight should reach the standard and not be too thin.

In addition, pre-pregnancy vaccinations and deworming are also very important to ensure the cat’s health.

03

Prenatal checkup

21-28 days after breeding, we should take the cat to the hospital for a prenatal checkup to confirm whether it is true Pregnant.

After about 46 days, we can use X-rays to determine the approximate length of the pregnancy, usually around days 58 to 71.

04

Signs of Pregnancy

When a cat enters 15-18 days of pregnancy, the nipples usually become larger and appear pink. Your cat's belly will enlarge significantly, and his neck and limbs will become heavier. In the early stages of pregnancy, cats' appetite will decrease, and after pregnancy, cats will become lazy and not like to exercise.

Also, a mother cat may begin nesting behavior a few days before giving birth.

05

Prepare delivery supplies in advance

In order to deliver the baby smoothly, we need to prepare some necessary supplies in advance. The first is the delivery room. You can use cardboard boxes or a dedicated delivery room with mats for easy cleaning. In addition, we also need to prepare urine pads, hemostatic forceps, disinfectant alcohol, absorbent cotton balls, hot water bottles, soft tissues and medical gloves.

At the same time, wool cat strips can help mother cats maintain their strength, and marking tapes can be used to distinguish kittens.

06

Barf feeding method

In addition to the precautions mentioned above, we can also consider the barf feeding method. barf is the abbreviation of Biologically Appropriate Raw Food, that is, biologically suitable raw food. This feeding method mainly provides cats with fresh raw meat and bones to imitate their eating habits of hunting in the wild.

The barf feeding method helps provide more nutrients and energy, and can also improve the cat’s digestive system and immunity.

Things to note when choosing cat food

There are seven cats at home, and they are all between the ages of three and five. At this age, our feeding method is mainly cat food. However, we must be very careful when choosing cat food because it is related to the cat’s daily diet.

Next, let me talk about what I pay attention to when choosing cat food.

07

Grain selection standards

When choosing cat food, there are several criteria that I pay great attention to. First, I choose grain-free cat food to avoid the effects of allergenic ingredients on my cat. Secondly, I would check the crude protein content in cat food to ensure it is no less than 30%. At the same time, the crude fat content should be between 14% and 20%. In addition, I will also pay attention to the grain texture of cat food. It should be refreshing, not greasy, and taste good. To sum up, I chose McFoodie barf cat food for the 7 cats at home. Judging from the formula, this cat food is very good. It uses the barf recipe proposed by Australian doctor Drlan Billinghurs, which is in line with cats’ eating habits.

This recipe includes 75% muscle, 10% bone meat, 5% bloody offal and 5% natural plant extracts, which is more in line with the cat’s eating habits.

08

High-protein excellent formula

The cat food I chose is a grain-free gluten formula. It will not burden the cat's gastrointestinal tract. Protein mainly comes from meat, accounting for 40%. The overall protein content is very high, with an actual measurement of 46.74%. In addition, the carbohydrate content of this cat food is very low, only 20%.

This formula is excellent, not inferior to imported cat food at all, and can ensure the nutritional needs of cats.

09

Say goodbye to soft stools

This cat food does not contain grains and legumes, which can reduce allergy rates and will not burden the pet’s gastrointestinal tract. . It also specifically adds 11 billion highly active probiotics, which can promote digestion and absorption and protect cats’ intestinal health. My Gululu's stomach is naturally fragile, but after eating this cat food, he no longer has the problem of soft stools.

If your kitten has a bad gastrointestinal problem, you might as well try this cat food.

10

Conquer the picky kitten

This cat food uses a freeze-dried combination method and is very delicious. Especially the raw meat and bones staple food, no kitten can resist. Moreover, the particle size of the cat food is moderate, and the round shape makes it very delicious for cats to eat.

They enjoy this delicious food intently.

For a long time, my cats have been eating cat food that conforms to the barf recipe.

It can be seen with the naked eye that their bodies are becoming more and more rounded, and the frequency of soft stools has also been significantly reduced.

The important point is that this barf cat food is produced in its own factory, which has won many certifications from China, the United States and Europe. Ingredients are traceable and test reports are open and transparent.

This undoubtedly adds a layer of protection to this cat food.

In general, this Barf cat food is excellent in terms of formula and nutrition, and is worth buying and trying.

Pregnant cats require more attention and care from us. Through preconception preparation, prenatal care, and paying attention to the signs of pregnancy, we can be prepared in advance and provide timely help. At the same time, properly preparing delivery supplies and choosing appropriate feeding methods can ensure the health and safety of cats and kittens.

Let us accompany our cats through this special moment with care and patience.
