How do cats give birth?

 Cats carry offspring for about 2.5 months. For one birth, both 1-2 kittens and 6-7 are born. The process itself takes several hours and consists of several stages. If you are helping your cat give birth, then you need to know how everything usually goes:

  • Attempts – kittens pass through the birth canal in 4-5 attempts.
  • Birth – kittens come out in the amniotic sac, less often without it.
  • Start breathing – the cat breaks the bladder and licks the born kitten, removing mucus from the respiratory tract.
  • Rupture of the umbilical cord, eating the placenta – after the kittens, the placenta (placenta) comes out, which the cat eats. How many babies were born – so many afterbirths should come out.

Human assistance may be required at each stage of the birth of kittens. When all the babies came out, all the amniotic sacs were torn, the cat licked all the children and they suck milk – everything is done. Further assistance will be reduced to the proper care of the pet who has given birth.

To know for sure that all the kittens came out, it is advisable to first do an ultrasound scan and count the fruits. Then there will be no cause for concern if the number of babies born matches the number that the veterinarian called.

Proper help to a woman in labor

In the wild, cats give birth on their own, but in domestic cats, natural instincts are muted. For this reason, it is desirable that the owner was nearby during childbirth and could provide the necessary assistance in time. It is especially required for a cat giving birth for the first time. The pet can only guess what will be required of it. The task of the owner is to act competently, and if necessary, call the veterinarian.
