Pregnant cats needs close monitoring by their owners. They will also benefit from some TLC to make them feel more safe and secure.

Pregnant cats tend to be more affectionate than usual, and will try to find ways to seek their owners’ attention. Because of the delicate condition that pregnant cats are in, extra precaution should be observed when petting or picking up a pregnant cat. When picking one, avoid touching the cat’s belly area. This is an ultrasensitive area during pregnancy, and unnecessary pressure applied on the area give a pregnant cat a lot of pain and discomfort. Rough handling may also hurt the unborn kittens; this can also be possibly true when a cat wriggles out of the person’s arms and falls to the floor or ground.

The correct way to pick up a pregnant cat is to place one hand on her rear end while the other hand is placed on her chest; this can help avoid putting undue pressure on the belly area of a pregnant cat.
