A nursing cat requires high quality nutrition in order to provide the healthiest milk to kittens. Maternal antibodies and nutrition is passed on to kittens in their first 24 hours of life so owners should provide healthy and nutritious foods to nursing cats and in the final stages of pregnancy.
Starting Proper Nutrition Early
Pregnant cats should be eating foods that are high in protein, vitamins and minerals as soon as possible. Keep your cat on premium cat food until the final weeks of pregnancy. During these last three to four weeks, gradually switch over to premium canned kitten food. Start by mixing this new diet with the old food to prevent digestive upsets. A nursing cat should be kept on the kitten food until the kittens are weaned.Switching Foods After Birth
Your cat will probably not be eatingmuch right after giving birth so it's important that she has the proper nutrients before having her kittens. After a few days, however, she should be more than eager to eat. Keep plenty of her kitten food and fresh water out and feed her at least three times a day. This feeding schedule can be kept up for the first three to four weeks of nursing as long as your cat isn't rapidly gaining weight and becoming obese.
Vitamin supplements can be given to cats during and after pregnancy as long as the right doses are given. Calcium supplements are especially important along with quality food. A lack of calcium, which can be common for nursing cats and in the last weeks of pregnancy, may lead to a fatal disease called eclampsia.
