My irresponsible neighbours let their female cat wander, and she's pregnant (again...!) and hanging out under my house, so I'm looking at cat pregnancy videos in case she has her kittens under my house.... Poor thing, I'd catnap and keep her, (and spay her), only she's not mine and being neighbours it could get awkward 😬😳😖

@@julie9541 Please spay your cat once the babies are weaned

[@julie9541]

@@belmum1689 I agree. It's so hard you think 12 weeks weening is feasible.

[@belmum1689]

@@julie9541 Slowly start weaning at 6 weeks so by the time they are 8 weeks they are eating and drinking on their own, but you can keep those kittens until 12 weeks, get in contact with an shelter or a adoption organization near you they will pay for the kittens to be desex, microchip and adopt them out, you could even be the foster mum until they are adopted out, remember the adoption organization will pay for the kittens vet bills.

[@8698gil]

When my cats were pregnant, I tried fixing up a bed for them but it never worked. They would go where they wanted to give birth. One cat gave birth in a cold basement when I had a warm bed set up in a bathroom upstairs. Another one had her kittens in my bedroom closet. They do just fine on their own and they usually prefer it that way. Cats are not humans. They give birth much more easily than human beings do. I always missed the actual birthing and would only find out when I saw the cat wasn't pregnant anymore and heard them mewing. If a mother cat isn't happy about where her kittens are she will move them. I tried moving the kittens out of the basement but she was so determined that she kept moving them back over and over. I finally gave up and just put a couple extra blankets down there if she wanted to use them. She brought them upstairs to hang out when they got a little older.

[@snehaly4917]

Same thing happens here

[@unabashed]

Why have you had multiple cats getting pregnant over and over? Why would you not spay them? Smh.

[@jdaze1]

This made me feel so much better. I was stressing out on all the stuff I was going to have buy for a pregnant stray that I'm watching to bring inside before she goes into labor. I made a space in the bathroom and and closet but knew she would go where she wanted. Im praying everything goes okay cuz I can't afford to take her to vet. Wow, my nerves were shot until I read your post. Thanks.

[@8698gil]

@@unabashed It happened to two of my cats. One when I was a kid and one when my daughter gave me her cat because she had to move and she was already pregnant. My other cats, including my dog, were spayed.

[@8698gil]

@@jdaze1 Chances are 99 percent that your cat will give birth with no difficulty at all, you may not even know she is in labor until you hear kittens mewing. We humans have a much tougher time giving birth, our heads are much larger than that of animals at birth.

Our cat, Hazel will be having her kittens in about two weeks. Haven’t had a cat birth in about 30 years so I’m basically new to this. Trying to learn and prepare for her

[@8698gil]

Don't worry. You don't have to do anything, she will do it all herself. My cats have had three litters between them, all by themselves without any help from us. In fact, it's probably better if you don't interfere. She will know exactly what do to.

[@kcg5187]

@@8698gil is there any way we can talk so I can ask a few questions about cat pregnancy only since you have obvs had a few litters x

[@8698gil]

@@kcg5187 I'm sorry. I didn't mean to imply that I'm any kind of expert. My cats had three litters between them, but I only actually saw the third one, the first two happened while I was sleeping or at work, much to my disappointment.. But in all three cases my cats did it all themselves without any help from us and they were just fine. It is highly unlikely that your cat will have any difficulty . Birth is very simple for cats and dogs, they don't have the big head problem that humans have when it comes to childbirth. Labor is quick. I remember the third time. My cat suddenly jumped up and raced downstairs. We followed her and by the time we got there her first had already been born. She hade three more in less than two hours. Your cat probably isn't going to wake you up if you are sleeping when it's time, unless she has decided to have her babies in your room and you wake up. The first litter happened at night, while I was sleeping, and I heard the kittens in the morning. The second litter happened in my bedroom closet, while I was at work. I also never knew ahead of time where my cat would decide to have her kittens. It isn't where you decide, it will be where she decides. If you are really concerned talk to your vet. It has been over 10 years since my last cat had a litter, so a vet will not only be more informed that I am but also be able to ease your concerns. Wish you luck, hope you get to see the birth, and that al goes well.

[@kcg5187]

@@8698gil oh thank you it’s okay it was just the general questions and yes I was hoping she would in my room since it’s the most quiet place and I have loads of dark spaces. However thank you again and hopefully I don’t miss it when it does happen.

[@8698gil]

@@kcg5187 Does she already sleep in your room? If she does, there is a good chance she will decide to have her kittens there. They do like quiet dark places. If you haven't already, try putting a bed into a closet or a quiet corner in your room, preferably with a blanket or something she already likes to sleep on. I hope you don't miss it. Unfortunately, our cats can't call us at work when labor starts.

[@kittycatsoulfood984]

Hi lovely! If it's a cats first time, it's more likely to happen if the cat is feral (outdoor cat and more prone to infection) or simply too young to be pregnant. But generally, it's quite rare if the cat itself is healthy from my experience. I wish her all the best! 💕

We got one female inside before she was bred, but didn't catch the second one until she was already bred. Now we are trying to get ready for not just taming her more but making her comfortable for her birth. We think she is 3-5 weeks into her pregnancy. Poor baby - she's so young herself.

[@heathercapito6052]

Hello, thank you for the videos. I'm new at this. Ive been trying to breed my F2 Highlander Lynx. The new big guy to our home is a domesticated bobcat mix. She doesn't appear to have larger nipples, but she does seem heavier. She is very loving always, but now she's over the top needy. Thanks again for the videos.~Heather

[@Talvia920]

My cats pregnant and by my math shes around 30 day is both of ours first litter so i have been watching a lot of videos to make sure its as easy as possible for her

[@ELISEHAGGLUND]

This made me feel super ready for my cat giving birth in a few weeeks im guessing mid september 2023 and i had no clue i needed all this stuff so now i feel prepared

[@tentowe4152]

We have just started our program (Sphynx Cats) and we have 2 queens that we suspect are pregnant. following your page to gain all of the knowledge ! I am so excited to start this journey

[@jennifercrisp7905]

Our cat Cleo is having kittens soon... Thank you for the video and the information I would never thought to get a scale so I can weigh the kittens I love that idea!!!

[@charnelleford2546]

My cats name is Cleo, she just had kittens yesterday

[@jessicawittek1189]

These tips are great! I thought I was ready, but I love the cat house, I just ordered one and I didn't even think about putting down the puppy pads!

[@Rita-yw2tn]

I’m so not prepared for this someone abandoned her and I’ve taken her in and I’m sure that she’s in labor and I don’t know what to do oh wow thank you for sharing this with us and I watched your other videos too and they helped a lot .

[@risingvibes6264]

I am in the same position! Been taking care of an abandoned cat and she is pregnant... trying to watch videos and be prepared

[@Rita-yw2tn]

@@risingvibes6264 she finally had 1 kitten and it came out backwards she had a hard time with her labor but she knew exactly what to do and they’re both doing well thank goodness . I just stayed with her and kept telling her that she was doing good and she was a good mommy and rubbing her and it soothed her a lot . I can tell that she’s really young herself so I was really worried about her but she did great thank goodness . You’re a good person to take care of that sweet little girl bless your heart . Thank goodness she came to you because otherwise there’s no telling where she would be and she would be alone so I’m glad that she’s with you . If you can will you come back and let me know how she does and how many she has ? 💕🐈💕

[@risingvibes6264]

@@Rita-yw2tn Hi Rita, thank you so much for your comment it made me smile. I am so glad your cat's pregnancy went well and the kitten is safe!! I just dropped off my cat at the vets she will be having an X-ray. She is very young too about 1 year. I hope everything goes well and I will pick her up n a bit. Sure, will keep you posted :)

[@thatbiiitchT]

Wow thank you this was exactly what I was looking for. I've never owned a cat and she got out for 5 minutes and yaaaa now she's due any day. Thank you so much for this video! 🤩🥰🤗

[@RideTheHighs]

Our gorgeous ragdoll is expecting kitties in another 4 weeks or so...having only 2, first pregnancy, so pleased about that and keeping them both...one for us and one for our vet daughter lol...but still would rather be prepared, safe than sorry...thanks for the vid.

[@groot6409]

The problema is i stumbled across this vid as my cat is pregnant but she is a street cat who stats here when she wants we don’t prepare anything before cuz when we wake up there are already kittens like waht?!?

[@mr.coffeyshouse3047]

We are about to go into birth soon and I have no idea what i'm doing. Your videos are saving my life! Thank you

[@littlecountrykitchen]

My bengal, 1st pregnancy went I to labor a month early and all 6 kittens were stillborn, wasn't prepared for that!!! Thanks for video. Very helpful Hopefully her next one goes better. But not sure I want to emotionally 😕

[@aleksandraziva157]

this is hood advice im coming back in September thats when my girl is due ❤

[@MeowImaKatie]

Did you get the size small or medium for the pet tent?

[@Izzydoesthings]

I don't know if our rescue cat it pregnant but if so thank you so much for this.

[@kittycatsoulfood984]

Elizabeth Haynes Thank you so much for watching! 💗

[@NeonThe1st]

Watching this with my hand on her tummy feeling a baby move❤

[@karriehealey2294]

Yes expecting new kittens now. We’re super excited but scared too.

[@Jo0chueE]

I don’t think I can do all of this on my own 😕

[@kittycatsoulfood984]

Josue Sandoval You will be fine! If you can prepare, then great. But if not, the good thing is that cats typically don’t need any help 99% of the time so they will figure it out themselves. There are always things we can do to make the process easier and safer for them, but they will do the bulk of the work without us so try not to stress.😺💖

[@Jo0chueE]

Kitty Cat Soul Food this is good to hear, thank you 😊

[@shadowfae69]

This was so helpful! We're preparing a nest for our cat Freya who is about 6 weeks pregnant. Tomorrow is the vet checkup to make sure all is well!

[@TheBigBigyapper]

Thanks. My cat is expecting her second litter and this time I want everything to perfect.

[@kagoshima73]

We’ve been adopted by the sweetest stray about five days ago. She’s full on pregnant and I have no idea what to do… I’ll watch more of these videos. She’s already doing the excessive digging in litter box, like crazy digging… She also has big pink nipples. She did have very soft stool suddenly today…. Im super nervous about it, have no experience, no supplies (yet) 😮

[@cathym937]

I am fostering a stray cat who is pregnant. I think she is close to delivery but not sure. It is hard because I don't know her personality before I got her. I know she is kneading a lot. She even kneads the air. She is a kitten herself and tiny so I know this is her fist liter.

[@donjurnee4678]

My cat is pregnant it’s my first cat so thank you for this video I’m Saving for the future

Just found out my cat is pregnant and I've simply no clue what to do hence finding this video as I need to swat up!! Oh and were relocating next month 😳

love your channel; great info and clips!

[@kittycatsoulfood984]

Robot Citizen Thank you so much lovely! 💖💖💖

[@munchkincatsnz]

At what point do you start to weigh the kittens? as in how long do you leave her with the kittens before starting to weigh them? I have a Napoleon queen that hopefully is pregnant (4 week ultrasound is next week) its her first litter and thanks for posting these videos only just found them tonight!

[@kittycatsoulfood984]

Lance streeter Hi, Lance! I would recommend weighing them as soon as you can after they are born and the umbilical cord has been cut from the placenta by either the queen or you (if needed). It only takes a few seconds so it shouldn’t cause much disturbance to the Queen. It is vital to record their weight from birth because they should begin to rapidly gain weight a few days after birth. 10 grams a day is considered healthy weight gain, though can differ based on different breeds. Some kittens gain weight immediately within 24 hours of nursing, though I have had cases where it took over 24 hours to see some weight gain. If a kitten drops 10% of initial birth weight in the first 48 hours and does not start to regain within 72 hours the kitten is considered to not be doing well and will need to be closely monitored. Perhaps supplementation of mother’s milk if it’s a case of them not getting enough to drink. Hope that helps and wish you all the best with her pregnancy and delivery-it’s a beautiful thing. 🥰💗

[@munchkincatsnz]

@@kittycatsoulfood984 Thanks thats super helpful!! I have some scales already going to get some of the other items from your video list for the birth too thanks again your videos are super helpful!

my cats going into labor right now your a lifesaver thank you!!!!!!

[@capystara662]

I found out my cat is pregnant a couple of days ago and I swear I'm like a nervous first time dad lol. Every time shes makes a weird noise I'm looking over my shoulder to make sure shes okay

[@kittycatsoulfood984]

Starry Squirrel Aww! It’s definitely normal to feel a bit anxious if it’s your first time. 🥰💖

[@tomfin2307]

Hi, great videos! my cat is 8 weeks pregnant and has yet to decide on a place including a few nesting places around the house to have her kittens. Is this going to be a problem for when she goes into labour? Thanks, Tom

[@kittycatsoulfood984]

Tom Fin Hi Tom, It appears that she might not settle on a spot until she’s actually in labour. Some of my Queen’s have behaved the same way where they won’t even try to find a nest until the last minute. If there’s a specific room you would prefer her to have the kittens in so you don’t have to worry about moving them after, then it’s best to just contain her in that room with a few nest options for her (like a box with blankets or a closet). You can put her there either a week before her due date or as soon as you notice any signs of labour. As long as she has some cozy nest options in the designated room, she should settle on something as it will be her instinct once she’s actually having contractions. Hope that helps! 😺💖
