How do you care for a mother cat?

Answer by  wj (646)

Make sure she has somewhere private, clean and safe to sleep in with her newborns. Give her personal space as she'll be very protective of her babies.

Make sure she is comfortable and able to nurse her young. She will require extra food and water for recovery and energy, just as a human who is nursing would. Be sure to take her to the vet to make sure all is well after delivery, and take the kittens also!
