When a cat gives birth to kittens, if it is a normal delivery, the owner usually does not need to assist with the delivery. You only need to prepare the birthing supplies for the cats. You will need to prepare a basin of warm water, a clean towel, a pee pad, an identification collar, a pair of sterilized scissors, a pair of medical gloves, and some sterilized thread cut into 10cm lengths for later use.
Before a cat gives birth, she needs to undergo a prenatal checkup to assess the number and vitality of the kittens, and to determine if the mother cat can deliver successfully. For kittens that are too large or have poor heart rates, it is recommended to induce labor or perform a cesarean section as soon as possible.
