<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00c9stos incluyen:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Elija la comida adecuada:&nbsp; <\/strong>Once your cat enters the third trimester, switch her to a canned kitten food.&nbsp; Canned kitten foods have a higher caloric intake, which can help ensure that your cat is getting sufficient nutrition to keep herself and her kittens healthy.&nbsp; Let her stay on this higher calorie food after giving birth too.&nbsp; After all of the kittens have been weaned, she can switch back to her normal food.&nbsp; Nursing kittens requires higher amounts of protein and calories, and kitten food will help make sure she\u2019s getting what she needs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Prepare un espacio para anidar:&nbsp; <\/strong>Encuentra un \u00e1rea tranquila de la casa donde puedas habilitar un espacio para que tu gata d\u00e9 a luz. Tome una caja de cart\u00f3n y c\u00fabrala con peri\u00f3dicos y luego con ropa de cama m\u00e1s suave. Esto ayudar\u00e1 a que tu gato se sienta c\u00f3modo cuando d\u00e9 la bienvenida a sus gatitos y crear\u00e1 un lugar seguro para que se abrazen y amamanten.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Prep\u00e1rate para lo inesperado:&nbsp; <\/strong>In most cases, the delivery should go smoothly.  However, it is advisable to make sure you\u2019re ready for an emergency.&nbsp; Schedule a visit with your veterinarian to make sure you&#8217;re prepared for labor and birth.&nbsp; It is also a good idea to have a kitten milk replacer available.  If your cat is having trouble or is not able to feed her kittens, you will be ready.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"671\" src=\"https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/assorted-color-kittens-stockpack-unsplash-720x671.jpg\" alt=\"camada de gatitos con diferentes marcas\" class=\"wp-image-1193\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/assorted-color-kittens-stockpack-unsplash-720x671.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/assorted-color-kittens-stockpack-unsplash-380x354.jpg 380w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/assorted-color-kittens-stockpack-unsplash-768x715.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/assorted-color-kittens-stockpack-unsplash-1536x1431.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/assorted-color-kittens-stockpack-unsplash-2048x1907.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/assorted-color-kittens-stockpack-unsplash-13x12.jpg 13w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/assorted-color-kittens-stockpack-unsplash-1568x1460.jpg 1568w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"cat-giving-birth-for-the-first-time-stay-calm-itll-be-ok\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cat Giving Birth for the First Time?
