A tool designed to estimate the due date of a pregnant cat based on the date of breeding or other observed indicators, such as the first day of the last heat cycle, can be a valuable resource for breeders and cat owners. For example, inputting the first day of mating allows the tool to generate an approximate timeframe for the birth of the kittens, typically around 63 days later.
Predicting the delivery window assists in preparing for the arrival of the kittens. This preparation can include arranging necessary supplies, scheduling veterinary check-ups, and adapting the home environment for the queen and her litter. Historically, predicting feline gestation relied on less precise methods, often based solely on observed physical changes in the queen. Modern tools provide more accuracy, reducing uncertainty and promoting better care for both mother and offspring.
