Hello.
My queen is now 3 weeks pregnant and i need advise about her diet.
This is our first litter so im very exited

I give her meat 2 times a day and dry food is always present,sometimes i also give premium canned food and boiled fish.

I´v read that you not supposed to overfeeed pregnant cat,but how do i kow what is enough food.

She´s already started to grow appetite and keep folowing me to the kitchen in hope for food.

When do you start to increase the food amount and how many times do you give it and what size of portions?

Do you give any vitamin addition?

I of course have a more expirienced breeder here who helps us, but im still interested to to hear any advise you can give

I´m also interested to hear how you feed your little kittens.

Hi,

A good holistic dry food I think is the perfect diet for queens; low in carbs and high in protein, grain-free. Plus the kittens can eat it too
I tend to let the queens eat as much as they want during pregnancy; with commercial wet food then a kitten food as it has a higher calorific content. I have never had an ‘overweight’ queen yet!
I also now give them ‘Feline missing link formula’ as a supplement which contains all the important nutrients and keeps their stools firm.

I would steer away from any milk formula though as this can interfere with their calcium levels too much and really a high protein quality diet is sufficient for a queen during pregnancy.
