What do you feed a cat when she is pregnant?

Answer 1

Feed the Queen as much as she wants. A pregnant cats needs a vast amount of food in order to keep her and her unborn litter healthy. This is not the time to limit her food to a set amount.

Pregnant cats need far more nutrition than an average cat, so premium quality food with a very high (60%+) meat content, the better. Switching a pregnant cat onto a better food is strongly recommended as higher quality food has more nutrients (such as more protein) than lower quality foods. It is advised to keep feeding the queen this until the kittens are weaned off the mother's milk. It is ideal to feed her as much as she wants at this time.

As for brands, look for foods that are high in meat (listed as Chicken, Turkey, Fish etc), while keeping away from by-products and "meat meals". Grains, corn, wheat glutens, food colourings and additives should also be avoided. Canned food which is high in meat and free in grains are much easier to find than dry food with the same specifications.

This doesn't strictly have to be kitten food; adult food will be just fine.

Answer 4

Pregnant cats need far more nutrition than an average cat, so the higher quality food with a very high (50%+) meat content, the better. Switching a pregnant cat onto kitten food is strongly recommended as the kitten food has extra nutrients than adult food. It is advised to keep feeding the kitten food until the kittens are weaned off the mother's milk. Feed her as much as she wishes - she needs all the energy she can get to keep herself and the growing unborn babies healthy.
