How should a mother cat be cared for after giving birth? In fact, most cat mothers recover on their own after giving birth.

"My mother cat has a baby! How should I take care of it?"

"My mother cat gave birth to 4 babies. After giving birth, she didn't eat for a long time, what should I do?"

Have you ever experienced the overwhelm of mother cat after giving birth? If so, how did you do it then?

In fact, most cat mothers don't need special care after giving birth to kittens. They just need a quiet, safe and comfortable resting environment. Then you need to prepare enough food for them.

But some mother cats need to be cared for for special reasons. For these mother cats they need people's care, but not a lot of people. During this period, the mother cat has a very strong awareness of protecting her children, so it is more reasonable to help 1 or 2 people. You shouldn't ask your friends or neighbors to come and help.

After giving birth, most female cats are not interested in food. However, 24 hours after they give birth to their last kitten, they should start eating. And, at this time, they may eat more than before. This is because giving birth to a litter of babies consumes a lot of their energy. Food is a great way to refuel them.

It is very effective to prepare high-quality cat food for mother cats at this stage, and sometimes you can supplement them with a nutritional paste containing multivitamins to help their bodies recover as quickly as possible.

Remember, prepare more food, some mother cats may eat 3-4 times as much after giving birth to kittens.

About a month after the kittens are born, the kittens also start weaning. At this time, the mother cat's diet can slowly return to normal, and the food you provide to it can be gradually reduced. About two months after the kitten is born, the kitten should be fully weaned, and the mother cat's diet should return to that of a normal adult cat.

Some cat mothers can be very sensitive to their babies. They worry that once they leave, the safety of the kitten will not be guaranteed. So, they may choose not to eat or drink, or even to go to the toilet. At this time, you should put the cat's food, water equipment, and litter box close to the mother cat to make it feel more relaxed.

Finally, you should also observe the mental state of the mother cat on a daily basis. Do they have pain, diarrhea? Is there an unknown discharge? If you feel anything unusual, you can seek advice from your veterinarian.
