pregnant cats

Cats are usually pregnant for about 60-70 days. The best thing you can do for her to care for her is spay her. ASAP. There are far too many unwanted pets in this world that suffer and die at the hands of people who won't sterilize their animals. Get her a box with some towels or an old shirt. Put it in a room where there is little to no traffic. Keep her INSIDE from now on out otherwise she'll have the kittens outside and you'll never find them. Cats have a bad habit of having their young in an area that is so off the wall or so isolated that the young often die because mother is not strong enough to nurse them all and you can't find them to help. The box should be big enough for her and the kittens, but should have a hole cut in the side to allow her to climb in and out, but the bottom part of the hole should be up enough to keep wandering newborn kittens out of harms way. Take a copy paper box for instance and cut a U-shaped hole from the top to about 4 inches from the bottom. That will give mama a way out and keep the kittens in.

Usually, when a cat is pregnant, it tends to keep itself warm by going to sunlit rooms and lounging there. Cat pregnancy usually takes 2 or more months before birthing their litter. Make sure it's place of comfort have enough soft rags and free of noise. Cats are very protective of their litter so it's better to have milk at hand for the mother cat to lick. It's good for its litter to feed as soon as their mother is fed as well. The mother will nurse its litter for a month before they are allowed to venture out of their comfort zone.

I'm not positive but I think a cat is pregnant for about 16 weeks. It's really hard to know for sure because you don't really know when the cat got pregnant. You would have to ask a vet to know exactly how long. As far as the care of the cat, I don't think you have to take any special care of them. They pretty much take care of themselves.
