Finally, you brought your cat home afterknitting. But do not immediately rush to the pet with the question of how much the cat bore kittens, and feel it by the stomach - perhaps, conception has not even happened. "When will it be?" - Perhaps you will eagerly ask. Conception at the cat is, so to speak, a delicate matter. It does not happen as quickly as it seems. If the cat you have chosen for breeding has everything "formed" with your pet, conception will occur 24-50 hours after the first sexual intercourse. When this happens, the pregnancy will begin counting. And the next question will appear - about how much the cat bore kittens (in the sense of "how much it will last"). Answer: the duration of the entire pregnancy is 58-72 days, i.е. almost 2 months. Why such a fluctuation of terms - from 58 to 72 days? And this depends on the number of kittens in the tummy of a cat. The fewer, the longer the pregnancy lasts, and vice versa - the more kittens, the less time will be their bearing. Duration of pregnancy in cats is not the same. Therefore, to the accuracy of the day, answer the question of how much the cat bore kittens (for example, 60 days or 8 weeks, as often written in the Internet) can not.
How many cats have kittens?
It took 20-30 days from the moment of conception.The cat becomes sleepy, sedentary and at the same time it improves appetite. On the abdomen, you can clearly see the nipples that have risen and become pink. The abdomen increases, becomes round, strong, elastic. And so far, to the question of how much a cat is carrying kittens, it's impossible to answer one hundred percent.
Ends the 4th week of pregnancy.The diameter of the abdomen is increased by 2-3 centimeters. The size of the embryos in this period is around 3.5 centimeters. The cat may start vomiting, but it's not scary. Vomiting occurs due to hormonal changes and enlargement of the uterus. At the end of pregnancy it will pass. And from this period, if you are so impatient, you can bring the cat to the veterinarian and torment him with the question of how much the cat is carrying the kittens until he does an ultrasound and tells the exact number of future cat offspring.
At 5-6 weeks of pregnancy, the abdominal enlargement becomes noticeable.
On the 42-50 day, the cat may become worse in appetite. At this time the kittens are developing rapidly: wool appears, on the 45th day their length reaches 5-8 centimeters.
On the 7th week the cat becomes restless, looking for a secluded place where she can give birth. Kittens at this time begin their movement in the mother's abdomen.
In the last week, the mammary glands of a cat increase, the nipples clearly protrude. Your pet is getting ready to become a mother and therefore becomes quiet and thoughtful.
Но беременность кошки - это забота не только cat, but also her master, who must change the regime of his pet's day, her diet, remove all other cats and cats from her, provide her with a place for childbirth, complete peace and support of the veterinarian (just in case) and finally get ready for the forthcoming adoption of labor, especially if the cat is young and inexperienced. It happens that more than once give birth to cats run away from the watchful eyes of their owners and give birth secretly in some closet. Therefore, the master needs to also accustom her to a pre-prepared nest for childbirth. And so on, and so on ... A giant list of all "need" the owner can find on the Internet, typing in the search engine query like "caring for the cat during pregnancy." You can also consult a veterinarian who usually has a cat. Pregnancy of the tailed python is not as simple as it seems. That's how many duties! And during childbirth, there will be even more. However, this is about another time.
