Is it normal for a pregnant cat to be defensive?

Answer by  mammakat (11147)

Yes, it is. If you've ever been pregnant yourself, or have a wife or sister, you can understand the discomfort, hormonal changes, and add to that her need to protect- Particularly in a 1st pregnancy- this is new to her too, and her instincts go to protecting her future litter.

It is very normal. A pregnant cat is aware that she is not as agile or quick to flee. Protect her from anyone she doesn't want to be around.
