Hi, I am not sure if this is the right board but hoping to get some questions answered!! We have just realized that our cat will be having babies!! My husband has said he has noticed her size difference for about a month. How long are they pregnant? What should I do? I have been noticing her in 2 particular spots in our home, should I put something down? Do I need to do anything different as far as feeding her? She has been eating more. TIA!!

Gestation for cats is around 62 days and if you have noticed her getting bigger now, she could be due any day.

Cat =^..^=

Thank You!! She's not overly big but I do know that her mom had 2 kittens. What if she won't eat kitten food? She's pretty picky. I also have to let it soak for a few minutes in warm water 'cause she can't eat regular cat food (to hard for her). Also she's a pretty clean cat but have noticed a lot lately that she licks herself a lot. Doesn't seem to be in pain but definatley more protective and more cuddly with me. What should I do about our male cat who wants to pounce on her and rough her up? I keep chasing him off. He's getting into the playful stage.
