Will cats lose weight when they are pregnant? A cat may experience weight loss during pregnancy, but it depends on the cat's health and eating habits. Generally speaking, cats start to lose weight within a few weeks of pregnancy, but in the later stages of pregnancy, the cat may recover as its body needs more nutrition to support it and the kitten’s growth and development.

Some cats will lose weight when pregnant because the fetus absorbs the nutrition from the mother when pregnant. If the mother's nutrition cannot keep up, it will lose weight. At this time, the owner should pay attention to supplementing nutrition to the female cat.

1. You can feed female cats canned food. The canned cats contain many nutrients, which can meet the nutritional needs of female cats.

2. You can feed more vegetables and fruits during pregnancy. Vegetables and fruits contain a variety of vitamins, which are good for the female cat's body.

3. You can feed nutritional cream. Generally, when feeding, just mix it directly into the female cat's food.
