Methods for delivering babies to American shorthair cats:

1. Be prepared before delivering the baby. Before the cat gives birth, the owner should prepare the cat's birth box, towels, sterilized scissors, medical gloves, sterilized thread cut into 10 cm lengths, hemostatic agents and other items.

2. Pay attention to the birth situation of the female cat during delivery. When a cat gives birth, you can first let the cat do it by itself, and the owner can quietly observe from the side. When the cat has difficulty in giving birth, provide necessary help.

3. The owner cannot leave immediately after delivering the baby, because cats are animals with multiple births, and the owner should continue to deliver babies to weak cats. If the female cat can do it by herself, the owner can quietly observe from the sidelines. Once the female cat has difficulty giving birth, the owner should provide timely help. If the cat has severe dystocia, the owner should contact the veterinarian promptly and ask a professional doctor to deliver the cat to ensure the safety of the mother and child.

Supplies needed to deliver an American shorthair cat:

1. Medical gloves (gloves must be worn for delivery and when touching kittens).

2. Cotton thread (used to tie the umbilical cord about 4cm, and then cut it with scissors).

3. Medical scissors (some female cats are inexperienced as first-time mothers and cannot bite the umbilical cord).

4. Diapers (it is best to buy two sizes, one extra large and one slightly smaller).

5. Identification circle (used to identify the birth order of kittens, and for subsequent daily weight identification).

6. Alcohol-iodophor (used to disinfect scissors and sterilize before cutting the umbilical cord).
