Dietary precautions for cat mothers during pregnancy and lactation:

1. Increase the calories contained in the food to supply the needs of the kittens for growth and the mother cat for lactation. . Because pregnant and lactating mother cats need a lot of calories. Lactation is the period in a cat's life that requires the most calories. Nursing cats require 2 to 6 times more calories than healthy adult cats.

2. Increase the protein contained in the food to supply the growth and development needs of kittens.

3. Increase the fat contained in the food to supply the high calories needed by the female cat.

4. Increase the calcium and phosphorus contained in the food to supply the needs of the kitten’s bone development and the mother cat’s lactation.

5. Food must have good digestibility in order to absorb high calories from a small amount of food. Because a pregnant cat mother needs a lot of calories, and there will be less space in the abdomen to hold food during pregnancy.
