Firstly, no animal likes the vets and the stress of a visit there won't do a pregnant cat any good. Some cats will go into complete panic and that may trigger a miscarriage. Second, as with people, cats' body-functions are particularly delicate during pregnancy. Anything introduced into their system will upset the ballance to a certain degree. This is best avoided if possible. Having said all that, some vets will recommend otherwise and will be happy to explain to you why. It is best in this situation to consult a vet you like and trust, and to follow his or her advice.
No all should be fine,but towards the end of pregnancy a cat will wish to be left in peace by other cats in the home,and left alone to give birth plus during the time when she is feeding and caring for her young.
It depends on the breed. Some can get pregnant at 4 months old, others at 6 months, and others as late as 8 months. This is why it is often advised to neuter and spay kittens before they reach 6 months old to eliminate the risk of producing unwanted litters.
Kittens should stay with their mother until at least 10 weeks, and continue nursing throughout this time. Kittens should usually stay nursing for 12 weeks, but the kittens' mother will normally stop them nursing when the time is right.
Most vets reccommend waiting until the kittens are two or three months old. Be sure that you have been playing with the kitten and petting it and getting it used to people, because if you don't, it will not be a good pet.
It is recommended to spay a mother cat when the kittens are weaned, but be sure to check when your vet is most comfortable to spay her. The spay will not cause her to behave any differently to her kittens, but is advised to wait until the kittens are on solid food as the procedure can disrupt, or even stop, milk flow.
Bring your cat into your house while she's pregnant and keep her in there until she gives birth and the kittens grow up.
Breeding a pregnant Maine Coon cat is not safe and should be avoided. It can put the health of the mother and her kittens at risk. It is important to wait until after the current pregnancy and nursing period before considering breeding again.
As soon as the kittens are weaned; preferably fairly shortly after so she doesn't get pregnant again. The mother cat's ovaries produce hormones that are essential for milk production; once the kittens no longer require milk, the mother cat can be spayed.
No, you should at least wait until they have finished nursing, then a few months, or it would be like a pregnant woman trying to look after a very young baby.
Then you will have to bottle feed the kittens or get another cat with kittens to do it. You can ask a vet if you need kitten formula. A pregnant cat will usually not show milk until soon before she gives birth.
As long as you didnt give her too much she should be fine. Keep an eye on her and see if shes acting a bit strange
Until the kittens are weaned.
The best idea is to leave the cat there until the cat comes out.
It depends. If your existing cat is territorial, personally, I would. But kittens should always be kept seperate from other cats until they are at least 8 months old anyway, so yes.

Not all kittens are born with worms. If the mother was wormed regularly and before the birth of the kittens it is unlikely that they will have worms. It is however highly recommended that kittens be wormed regularly and it is advised that this should be done monthly until they are 6 months old
