Causes and measures to prevent miscarriage in cats


Since ancient times, the cat has represented mysticism, magic and the other world. It is believed that they live simultaneously in two worlds: the real and the astral. The symbol of kittens has the same complex, mysterious and ambiguous meaning. Seeing dead kittens in a dream is a sign that everyday problems and everyday troubles will be resolved in the near future. In some cases, this will happen without the active intervention of the dreamer, which will make his life much easier. A dream about a dead kitten speaks of the absence of teenage naivety and gullibility; a person has learned to independently make thoughtful decisions and is able to stand up for himself.

Many people think that dead kittens are harbingers of misfortune. Rather, on the contrary, they promise positive changes and warn of dangers that can be avoided. The dream book informs that otherworldly forces are on the dreamer’s side.

Prophecies of interpreters

Miller's Dream Book

A famous psychologist considers this symbol positive. In reality, you will be able to end a long conflict, break off relations with some unpleasant person of the opposite sex who has been boring you for a long time.

To strangle a cat with your own hands means that in reality you will break off relations with your partner , for whom all feelings have long since faded away.

The cat has died and its corpse is already decomposing - this indicates a deterioration in health and a poor state of affairs at work. If a small kitten dies on the threshold of the house where you live, it means unexpected losses. It is necessary to pay more attention to family and friends, and also to be more attentive at work.

Vanga's Dream Book

The clairvoyant convinces that the dream carries a favorable interpretation. All obstacles and conflicts on your way will be resolved , and good luck will accompany you. All ill-wishers and enemies will leave.

However, if you saw a lot of dead cats, this means that some situation may happen in reality that you will be ashamed to remember.

In a dream, kittens died in your house - speaks of your internal struggle . You cannot decide which path to follow: spiritual or material.

Freud's Dream Book

Connects the cat with the genital area. If the dreamer kills a cat in a dream, this indicates that he has sadistic tendencies.

Seeing the death of an animal indicates the extinction of sexual desire and the emergence of problems in the intimate sphere.

If a man saw a dream, this indicates a cooling of desire in his girlfriend or wife. If a woman dreams of the corpse of an animal, she needs to check her women’s health.

Loff's Dream Book

Seeing a dead kitty in a dream means that the dreamer has something to do with the occult sciences and he needs to be more careful in this matter.

Esoteric dream book

If you dreamed of a dead cat near your home, this is a good sign; get ready for a family holiday, perhaps it will be a wedding.

Dream Interpretation of Hasse

I dreamed that you killed and ate an innocent cat; in reality, your deception will be revealed and you will be convicted of it.

Muslim dream book

A dead cat in a night dream means you will find a thief or a deceiver among your household.

Tsvetkov's Dream Interpretation

A living cat in a dream promises betrayal and many tears in reality. If the animal was dead, you will defeat your opponent , failures and illnesses will come to an end.

Dream Interpretation of Nostradamus

Seeing a cat with its throat cut is a bad sign. You have strong ill-wishers who can even use witchcraft against you.

Love dream book

The dream book interprets the vision as follows: an unpleasant acquaintance has disappeared from your life. Tormenting and killing a cat yourself - in reality you will be very tormented by your conscience and a sense of shame.

Dream Interpretation of Medea

A dead black cat in a dream speaks of the dark side of the dreamer himself. A white cat promises troubles that will not seem so significant, but will turn into huge problems.

Varieties and their symptoms

One of the types of miscarriages that pose the least danger to your pet is fetal resorption in the early stages of pregnancy. In fact, the process may go unnoticed by you. The fruits do not necessarily all dissolve; sometimes some of them continue to develop normally. Much more serious is intrauterine fetal death, which can occur at any stage of pregnancy.

As for intrauterine fetal death without miscarriage, this is the most serious problem. In this case, your pet begins to bleed heavily, as well as purulent discharge (key symptoms). In addition, the cat refuses food, begins to vomit, and the temperature rises. The only sure way out is to contact a specialist as soon as possible.

Dead cat in reality

I dreamed of a cat that was already dead: seeing such a dream is sad and depressing. However, it doesn’t just come to you in a dream; perhaps the soul of your pet wants to warn you of impending danger. In reality, be careful, be vigilant.

If you dreamed that your living cat was dead, postpone your planned activities or give them up altogether . Also, such a dream speaks of the good health of your pet.

It is possible that you dreamed of a cat that had already died, bloodied and near death - in reality, you need to refuse to communicate with unfamiliar people , you do not need to reveal to them your plans, feelings or ideas. This applies not only to the dreamer himself, but also to his close people.

First aid

Often a provocateur for the fact that small kittens have died is the fact of inexperience or illiteracy of the owner of the giving birth pet. Sometimes a person is not able to distinguish between the presence and absence of signs of life in a baby. Newborn kittens may not move or meow, causing the owner to decide that the baby is dead. To prevent a cat from giving birth to dead kittens, it is important to ensure safe gestation conditions, contact a veterinarian for assistance during childbirth, and also be able to provide first aid to newborn babies.

The algorithm of actions is as follows:

  1. Remove the baby from the hymen, allowing it to breathe.
  2. You can pinch the umbilical cord with your fingers, at a distance of 2 cm from the tummy, and cut it off with sterile scissors.
  3. Wash the wound with an antiseptic.
  4. Free the mouth and nose from mucus using a small syringe, and then turn the head down.
  5. Help the kitten breathe by breathing “mouth to mouth” according to the rules:
      take a straw;
  6. insert into baby's mouth;
  7. blow in a little air every 3-5 seconds.


To cut the umbilical cord, you must use a sterile instrument.
Usually, the mother cat frees the hymen by licking the lumps that appear. But, if this is not possible (the pet has abandoned the baby or is busy giving birth to other kittens), you can imitate the mother’s movements. To do this, wrap your finger in a napkin and do a light massage: from the forehead to the back, from the tail to the neck and along the area from the throat to the tail on the stomach. Some breeders use ammonia to revive it by placing a piece of cotton wool soaked in a small amount of solution to the spout. Trying to bring a baby back to life if it smells bad initially is not advisable, since the newborn kitten died in the womb.


In this situation, baby massage can be effective.

Resuscitation is carried out for no more than 20 minutes in the presence of heartbeats, but up to 7 minutes in the absence of a pulse.

Dead kittens in a dream

Dead kittens promise only a successful resolution of cases. For the prisoner - early release, for the sick - a speedy recovery, for pregnant women - an easy release from the burden.

If in a dream you saw that little kittens drowned in water, this promises good luck at work , bonuses, promotions, financial well-being, and the fulfillment of your plans.

Black kittens symbolize the end of a bad streak of bad luck and the beginning of a new one. If you yourself drown kittens in a nightmare, the fate of your loved ones and colleagues at work is in your hands . But you will cope with all the difficulties and find a way out of the situation.

Killing a small kitten with your own hands means that you will solve the problems that have arisen on your own , without anyone’s help. If at the same time the kitten bites you, there is a liar in your environment.

If you saw the corpse of a kitten on the threshold of your home - avoid quarrels and conflicts ; a minor mistake can lead to a long and grueling showdown in the family.

When you dream about dead kittens very often, this is a sign that an envious person has appeared in your circle, whom you trust very much.

We recommend watching the video - “Why do you dream about cats?”:

Reanimation of a kitten or declaration of death

When a cat has a dead kitten, she may ignore the baby and start licking her own fur. Your task is to react quickly and provide the newborn with all possible assistance. To resuscitate babies, you should have the following kit on hand:

  • Sharp, sterile scissors.
  • Syringes without needles or a baby syringe.
  • Paper and cloth towels.
  • Warmer.
  • Dental or cotton floss.
  • Cat milk replacer.

Act carefully but confidently! Open the amniotic sac in the muzzle area. First, try to break the bubble with your fingers; if all else fails, cut it with scissors. Remove the bubble from the kitten and place the baby on paper towels. Open the kitten's mouth and try to remove as much amniotic fluid as possible.

Sometimes a pet's pregnancy ends with a miscarriage. From the article you will learn why a cat miscarries, what preventive measures can be taken, and what to do in emergency situations.

Before determining the most effective preventative methods, you should find out why this situation might become a reality for your beloved cat.

One of the common factors that stimulate spontaneous abortion in a pet is an injury that she may have received during pregnancy. However, in addition to this, any infection picked up after the formation of the fetus in the womb of the expectant mother also poses a rather serious danger for the animal.

Among the key reasons that you should first pay attention to are:

  • crossing too early or too late. If a cat is mated with a male under the age of one year or after 8 years, all this can result in a miscarriage and other health problems for the pet;
  • incorrectly composed diet. When an animal does not receive enough vitamins and components necessary for the formation of strong immunity, pregnancy will be the greatest stress for the cat physiologically. The same can be said about a sharp change in the daily menu for a future woman in labor;
  • helminthic infestations;
  • poisoning;
  • pathologies of the feline reproductive system;
  • vaginal infections;
  • inbreeding (the cats that were crossed had a blood connection);
  • drug therapy;
  • stress;
  • hormonal imbalances.

Be sure to find out why your beloved cat gave birth to dead kittens.

In this case, you can prevent a similar situation next time.

Why do you dream of a dead kitten: interpretation of the dream

Human traits and instincts are reflected in the behavior of animals and are often embodied in their images in dreams. Thus, a predatory animal in a dream may indicate the actualization in a person’s life of such impulses as aggression, rage, sexuality. Many birds in night dreams testify to the sublimity of the dreamer’s feelings and thoughts, his increased desire for freedom and independence.

Cats almost universally symbolize such qualities as grace, cunning, malevolence, deceit and laziness. In the Middle Ages in Catholic countries, the cat was the personification of evil spirits and was considered a companion of witches and sorcerers. But in Orthodox countries, representatives of the cat tribe are guardian spirits of the hearth and comfort. The point is not only that they protect the crop from rodents. It is believed that all animals born blind are able to see evil spirits. And cats are especially strong guides to the other world. They can warn of the appearance of astral entities and even expel them from their territory. At a housewarming party, it is customary to let the cat into the house first.

Dreamed of killing kittens

Killing a cat in a dream can be caused by necessity or simple desire. Thus, newborn kittens that cannot be housed are drowned. The social taboo that society imposes on cruelty to pets can also cause scenes of cats being killed in dreams. Such pictures reflect the dreamer’s desire to break some generally accepted rules. Unmotivated wounding and killing of an animal in a dream is associated with the aggressive impulses of the dreamer who are looking for a way out.

Freud believed that night visions of the killing of small defenseless animals indicate the increased excitability of the sleeper and his tendency to sadism. Moreover, it does not matter who committed the act of violence - the dreamer himself or some other character in the dream.

According to Longo’s dream book, if you dreamed that an animal died without your participation, it means that your problems will be resolved thanks to a successful coincidence of circumstances. If you dreamed of killing cats yourself in a dream, you will be forced to face problems face to face. If at the same time they make plaintive sounds and try to break free and run away, the fight will not be easy.

Medea's dream book states that if a kitten is killed by a dog, it means that in order to solve the problem that is tormenting you, you need to enlist the support of friends. The cat is killed by a snake - the enemy who tried to harm the sleeping man got into serious trouble himself, and will soon leave him alone, dealing with his own problems.

According to Loff’s dream book, to be an outside observer of the killing of pets, while experiencing pity and sympathy, means in reality to witness an ugly scene that is offensive to your feelings. Seeing a dead kitten in a dream: meaning for a woman

For young girls to see dead kittens in a dream - to unhappy love, betrayal on the part of a lover.

Why does an adult woman dream about a dead kitten? Such a vision for married ladies can also turn out negatively. Problems with the reproductive sphere, complications after an abortion, and diseases in children are likely. Some dream books promise pregnant women who see dead kittens in a dream a quick, easy birth.

Early kitten mortality (fading kitten syndrome)

www.icatcare.org

Unfortunately, when awaiting the birth of kittens, you must be prepared for the fact that some of them may not survive. In purebred cats, the early mortality rate of kittens is slightly higher than in domestic cats.

One study provides data that about 7% of purebred kittens are stillborn, 9% die during the first eight weeks of life (mostly from the first to the third week).

The number of kittens surviving after 8 weeks of life varies between breeds (from 75% to 95%), Persian kittens are the most likely to die.

Most kittens that are not destined to survive die before birth (they are stillborn) or in the first week of life. The number of deaths in kittens that lived for more than a week is significantly less.

As a rule, while the cat is nursing kittens, death occurs from “non-infectious” causes; mortality from infectious diseases increases after the kitten is taken from its mother. This is because kittens receive protection against many infections through their mother's milk.

Kittens that die between birth and weaning are called “fading.”

Newborn kittens may die suddenly or decline gradually over several days. Unfortunately, the clinical signs of many diseases affecting newborn kittens are very similar and vague. If healthy kittens tend to gather in a group and sleep between feedings, then sick kittens often lie separately, are more restless, suck poorly, and often squeak (while they have enough strength to do so).

Newborn kittens are more vulnerable because their body temperature regulation mechanisms and immune system are still developing, and they have an increased risk of dehydration and low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). Therefore, regardless of the original cause, the kitten can die very quickly.

Hypothermia

(hypothermia). Newborn kittens are at risk of hypothermia because their bodies are unable to maintain body temperature, making them dependent on the cat and the temperature in the room.

Hypothermia, in particular, is dangerous because it can cause a decrease in breathing and heart rate, which leads to cardiovascular failure. Also, with hypothermia, kittens often cannot suckle well, which accelerates the development of problems.

Rectal temperature in kittens should be between 35-37°C in the first week, 36-38°C in the second and third weeks, and reaches a normal adult cat temperature of 38-39°C by the fourth week of life.

Low sugar level

in the blood (hypoglycemia). Newborn kittens need a lot of energy, but they have no reserves to conserve it, so they are completely dependent on their mother's milk. Sick kittens may not consume the required amount of milk, which quickly leads to the development of hypoglycemia. This can manifest itself in weakness, decreased temperature, squeaking, difficulty breathing, and convulsions.

Dehydration

(dehydration). At an early age, the risk of dehydration in kittens is increased, since their body contains a relatively high amount of fluid, and the mechanisms of protection against water loss have not yet been fully formed; water is quickly excreted through the kidneys, lungs and skin.

Diarrhea also increases water loss. Normally, newborn kittens require approximately 130-220 ml/kg per day of water, while an adult cat only needs 50-65 ml/kg.

Dehydration develops quickly when there is a lack of milk intake or increased water loss (usually as a result of overheating or diarrhea).

Causes related to childbirth and mother

Hypoxia

(lack of oxygen), injuries, hypothermia. Kittens born after a difficult birth (dystocia) are much more likely to die as infants. This occurs as a result of possible birth injuries and (or) hypoxia.

Research shows that cats with extreme features, such as the flat face of the Persian, are more likely to have difficulty giving birth, likely due to a combination of features such as the kitten's relatively large size, large head, and the cat's narrow pelvis.

Due to the lack of oxygen during birth, kittens may be born dead or too weak to suckle enough milk afterwards.

First birth

at the cat. Kittens from the first litter have a higher mortality rate on average, likely due to the cat's inexperience, injury, and possible cannibalism. Cats that have given birth multiple times (more than five times) may also experience difficulty during labor.

Obesity

cats. Mortality among kittens whose mother is overweight also increases.

Others

Reasons: lack of milk, mastitis, abandonment of kittens.

Congenital anomalies in kittens

Congenital anomalies are physical defects that are present from birth. These can be both genetic abnormalities and disorders during intrauterine development (for example, due to the use of medications, past illnesses, etc.), leading to the formation of defects in the fetus. The most common birth defects are:

  • Cleft palate;
  • Umbilical hernia;
  • Skeletal defects;

Kittens with significant defects are usually stillborn or die in the first days of life. Moderate disorders lead to the decline of kittens or may appear at an older age. Since inbreeding also increases the risk of inherited diseases, hereditary disorders are more common in purebred cats.

Underweight kitten

Low weight kittens are more at risk of hypothermia, dehydration, respiratory problems and infectious diseases, which significantly increases the risk of early death. Kittens may be born underweight due to maternal malnutrition, disease, birth defects, or other causes that result in poor blood supply to the placenta.

The average weight of a newborn kitten for domestic cats and most pedigree cats ranges from 90 to 100 grams, although some breeds have a normal kitten weight that is less (for example, Oriental cats) and some more (Maine Coons). If a kitten weighs less than 75g, the likelihood of death is quite real.

Poor conditions for the development of a kitten

The environment significantly influences kitten mortality:

Air temperature

. Room temperature is very important for the proper development of kittens. If kittens are cold, they very quickly get tired of sucking milk, which leads to hypothermia and hypoglycemia.

To maintain temperature (especially for orphaned kittens), it may be necessary to warm their box to a temperature of 29-32°C, and the kittens should be able to freely move away from the heater to a cooler area.

By 7-10 days the temperature can be gradually reduced to 27°C, and by the end of the first month of life - to 22-25°C.

Poor hygiene

. Increases the risk of infectious diseases.

A large number of kittens

. Increases the risk of infectious diseases and malnutrition as a result of competition for food (milk).

Excessive cat care

. Constant licking of kittens can limit their time for feeding, and in nervous cats even lead to cases of cannibalism. Since newborn kittens cannot shiver, which prevents them from maintaining body temperature, they may become hypothermic, which in turn leads to a further decrease in activity and milk output.

Malnutrition of a cat

It is very important that the food meets the needs of a nursing cat, since the quality of milk depends on it, which greatly affects the health of kittens. It is advisable to feed your cat high-quality food designed specifically for nursing cats.

A lack of milk produced by a cat can have the following reasons:

Insufficient milk intake in a kitten can occur as a result of:

  • Deterioration in health or weakness;
  • Competition with other kittens;
  • Poor living conditions;

Signs of low milk supply for kittens

For control, kittens should be weighed immediately after birth, weighed daily during the first week and twice a week starting in the second week of life. Normal indicators must meet the following parameters:

  • In the first day, the kitten can lose no more than 10% of its weight;
  • From the second day the kitten should gain 10-15g/day (5-10%);
  • The kitten's weight should double in 1-2 weeks;

Any weight loss (or lack of weight gain) should be cause for concern.

If a cat does not produce enough milk, the kittens need additional nutrition.

Neonatal isoerythrolysis

For some cat breeds, neonatal isoerythrolysis is a fairly common cause of death in kittens. The cause of death in this case is the incompatibility of the blood groups of the cat and the kitten.

I dreamed about a lot of dead kittens

Dead newborn kittens dream of nothing other than the collapse of all the dreamer’s plans and hopes. A sign of his shortsightedness. The projects started will not be viable.

Why do you dream about dead little kittens of a particular color?

  • saffron milk caps - failures in business or on the love front;
  • newborn white cats - failed friendship; broken dreams;
  • gray cats - financial troubles;
  • black - you will not be able to achieve justice in court; get a desired job or get a promotion.

As a rule, the death of older individuals has a positive meaning. I dreamed about a lot of dead kittens:

  1. on your hands or knees - you will have to break old ties;
  2. before the threshold of the house - expect favorable changes in family life;
  3. in the mud - everyday and financial problems are resolved.

I dreamed that a dead kitten came to life

How to interpret night dreams in which a dead kitten comes to life? According to Miller’s dream book, if the little animal you killed comes to life, you will never be able to cope with the problems that have befallen you, despite all your efforts.

According to the modern dream book, if you brought a dying animal back to life, in reality you will be able to emerge victorious from a very difficult situation.

How to interpret a dream in which your own dead kitten came to life? We usually see recently deceased pets simply because we are grieving and missing them. However, if the death is long-standing, then the appearance of a revived pet in a dream should be interpreted as a return to former habits, relationships, and the resumption of old problems.

Prevention measures

Dead kittens can be born to a cat for various reasons. That is why the best solution for you is to take the necessary preventive measures to protect your pet from serious health problems.

What you should think about first is finding a healthy partner for the cat, always a non-blood relative. It is not recommended to plan mating for animals that are over 6–7 years old. It is also advisable to create a balanced daily diet for your cat, which will include taurine, vitamins and minerals.

It is very important to make sure that your pet does not consume products of questionable quality or stale ones. This could cause her poisoning. Additionally, encourage your cat to be physically active during pregnancy, but try to limit access to high surfaces. Another key point: immediately before mating, try to check both partners for the presence of infections in the body.

Why do you dream of a dead kitten: interpretations from dream books

The dreamer will defeat all attacks of enemies, protect himself from all slander and troubles, which in this case are symbolized by cats and kittens. That is, the dreamer’s quality of life will improve.

Why do you dream about a lot of dead kittens?

There is another opinion that such dreams do not bring anything good, they predict troubles, and of an unpleasant nature. The reason for this is the carelessness of the dreamer, who should become more careful. And such a dream can have absolutely the opposite meaning and foretell cash receipts in the form of a bonus.

There are quite a few interpretations of such a dream, but we should not attach much importance to what we see in a dream, because what we dream about may be a simple game of imagination and subconscious, the rules of which we are not given the opportunity to learn.

The cat is considered a fairly ancient and well-known symbol, so it has many meanings. This is especially true for dream interpretations, in which anyone can dream of a dead kitten.

More and more often, people want to clarify and explain why they dream about dead kittens. Such dreams can promise the emergence of positive and negative situations in the near future.

If you believe the dream book of Nostradamus, then when a girl or guy dreams of a killed kitten, this is deceit. It will manifest itself in the person who saw this not entirely pleasant dream.

Poor quality cat nutrition during pregnancy

It is vitally important to get it right: not only the health and even the life of her kittens (even if not yet born), but also the condition of the animal itself before and after birth depends on this. In particular, if you fed a pregnant pet low-quality food, then subsequently her body is unlikely to be able to produce a sufficient amount of nutritious milk.

That is, kittens, even having “managed” to be born alive, may well die soon after birth. In ideal cases, and if the owner has such an opportunity, we would advise feeding a pregnant cat with special commercial food. Poor nutrition during pregnancy can lead not only to stillbirth, but also to other problems that can lead to the death of kittens after they are born:

  • Stress. As we already remember, the cat in this case can “with its own hands” kill its entire litter.
  • Accelerated wear and tear and aging of the cat’s body.
  • Maternal exhaustion.
  • Dystocia or atony of the uterus.
  • Mastitis. Do not be surprised - if there are mold spores or their toxins in the food, inflammation of the mammary glands is more than a typical pathology.
  • Systemic diseases (including).
  • Pathologies of skeletal development in kittens. There are cases described when babies are born literally “broken”, since the strength of their bones is no higher than that of rotten matches. The cat itself will almost certainly develop osteoporosis in such situations.

Why do you dream about dead kittens?

When a dead kitten lies in a small box, this may indicate that colleagues are preparing a trap. Unpleasant situations are bound to happen, such as changing your main place of work and searching for a new position. But in this case, there is no need to despair because the new organization will be better and the person will be able to succeed in the new position and also earn a good amount of money. Sometimes in dreams an image may appear before a person’s eyes when a kitten is brought to a person in a small package. Such pictures indicate an upcoming meeting of good guests. They may come from another country and stay in your home for several days. It is worth noting that such time spent will be remembered for a long time and the memories will be pleasant. Sometimes in dreams the already decomposed corpse of a small kitten may appear before your eyes - this promises to receive news from friends or acquaintances with whom contact has long been lost. They will send word that they want to come and visit soon.

Common interpretations of dreams with dead kittens

To do an analysis and find out what dead kittens mean in dreams, you need to remember all the details, even the most insignificant and small ones. They will help you give the most accurate and correct answer to all your questions.

  • A dead kitten on the threshold of your own home is an impending quarrel with household members and loved ones. Most likely it will flare up because of an insignificant trifle, but it will definitely leave an unpleasant aftertaste on the soul. To protect yourself from unnecessary disputes, you need to be attentive with your loved ones and not take part in disagreements.
  • A dead kitten lying on the road means planning a long trip.
  • Several centuries ago, ancestors believed that a person who sees a dead kitten in a dream would face great trouble, but this superstition has no basis. Such dreams do not always promise negative things to people.
  • According to the Esoteric Dream Book, a dead kitten is a good sign. In a few days, it is possible to organize a pleasant and large family celebration. Sometimes it is a symbol of an upcoming wedding or engagement.
  • An animal in a ditch means receiving a fairly large bonus. It will be given for hard work in your position. In some cases, a person can count on promotion on the career ladder.

Dead kitten according to Miller's dream book

Seeing a kitten near your doorstep is a bad and negative sign. The presented dream implies the beginning of a difficult period in life, because many tests are prepared for a person. In some situations you may face large losses. Experts recommend that in the near future you take special care and attention to the performance of your own job duties. We should also not forget about relationships in the family and with household members. If a dead kitten ends up on the street covered in dirt, then the person will soon experience incredible financial well-being. At work, it is possible to rise up the career ladder and achieve success. Miller's dream book quite accurately and correctly deciphers the phrase: “Why do you dream about dead kittens?” But it is best to listen to several dream books in order to interpret your own dream without errors.

Stimulation of labor in cats and preparation for it

Many owners who have got a cat and are faced with its first birth are wondering: how to help a cat give birth for the first time? The question is very relevant and correct, since when giving birth for the first time, an inexperienced cat panics and fusses - after all, this process is new to her and she can only guess at a natural level what exactly she needs to do.

The cat's behavior during this period may change beyond recognition. She may begin to rush around the house, meow hysterically and rub against her owner, calling him for help.

But what can the owner do? After all, he cannot know in advance how his pet will react to the kittens and to the process of delivery itself; there is a high probability of psychological trauma and physiological disorders in the body.

How a cat behaves during childbirth, especially the first, largely depends on the individual characteristics of the psyche and the body as a whole. Some individuals literally require the owner to be constantly nearby, need stroking and affection, while others, on the contrary, hiss and scratch the person, clearly making it clear that he should not come close. In such cases, all that remains is to observe and hope that the cat will cope on its own.

Attention!

If the cat behaves too aggressively, it is worth inviting a veterinarian, since in this case you will be able to fix the animal in a comfortable position, and, if necessary, inject it with a sedative to relieve tension.

It happens that all the due dates set by the veterinarian for a cat pass, but the female is not going to give birth. How then can you help a cat give birth at home, because kittens gain weight and exhaust the cat more and more, foreshadowing problems with passage through the birth canal.

In such cases, only a veterinarian, but in no case the pet owner himself, can decide whether it will be necessary to help the cat give birth and how exactly to do this! For example, folk remedies used during childbirth for a “difficult” cat can provoke an even longer process, which will cause a protracted delivery, poor pushing, and bleeding.

The introduction of hormonal drugs such as Oxytocin or any other analogues for an unprepared cat can be the beginning of the end - a rupture of the cervix will occur. That is why the cat is examined in advance by a veterinarian-obstetrician and, based on the tests and data obtained, decides which drug should be used.

Why do you dream of a dead kitten: interpretation of the dream

Human traits and instincts are reflected in the behavior of animals and are often embodied in their images in dreams. Thus, a predatory animal in a dream may indicate the actualization in a person’s life of such impulses as aggression, rage, sexuality. Many birds in night dreams testify to the sublimity of the dreamer’s feelings and thoughts, his increased desire for freedom and independence.

Cats almost universally symbolize such qualities as grace, cunning, malevolence, deceit and laziness. In the Middle Ages in Catholic countries, the cat was the personification of evil spirits and was considered a companion of witches and sorcerers. But in Orthodox countries, representatives of the cat tribe are guardian spirits of the hearth and comfort. The point is not only that they protect the crop from rodents.

The cat is killed by a snake - the enemy who tried to harm the sleeping man got into serious trouble himself, and will soon leave him alone, dealing with his own problems.

According to Loff’s dream book, to be an outside observer of the killing of pets, while experiencing pity and sympathy, means in reality to witness an ugly scene that is offensive to your feelings. Seeing a dead kitten in a dream: meaning for a woman

For young girls to see dead kittens in a dream - to unhappy love, betrayal on the part of a lover.

Why does an adult woman dream about a dead kitten? Such a vision for married ladies can also turn out negatively. Problems with the reproductive sphere, complications after an abortion, and diseases in children are likely. Some dream books promise pregnant women who see dead kittens in a dream a quick, easy birth.

How to protect future offspring?

You can help your cat give birth to kittens alive and healthy through pregnancy prevention and preliminary preparation.:

  • competent choice of a male means compatibility of blood groups, absence of hereditary diseases and cases of stillbirth in ancestors;
  • It is not recommended to allow mating of related individuals;
  • periodic diagnostics of a pet will identify infectious formations and reproductive problems in advance;
  • in a veterinary clinic you can carry out deworming - elimination of parasites and worms;

A cat needs care during pregnancy. This concerns nutrition and safety: the slightest injury can become critical for the fetus.

I dreamed about a lot of dead kittens

Dead newborn kittens dream of nothing other than the collapse of all the dreamer’s plans and hopes. A sign of his shortsightedness. The projects started will not be viable.

Why do you dream about dead little kittens of a particular color?

  • saffron milk caps - failures in business or on the love front;
  • newborn white cats - failed friendship; broken dreams;
  • gray cats - financial troubles;
  • black - you will not be able to achieve justice in court; get a desired job or get a promotion.

As a rule, the death of older individuals has a positive meaning. I dreamed about a lot of dead kittens:

  1. on your hands or knees - you will have to break old ties;
  2. before the threshold of the house - expect favorable changes in family life;
  3. in the mud - everyday and financial problems are resolved.

I dreamed that a dead kitten came to life

How to interpret night dreams in which a dead kitten comes to life? According to Miller’s dream book, if the little animal you killed comes to life, you will never be able to cope with the problems that have befallen you, despite all your efforts.

According to the modern dream book, if you brought a dying animal back to life, in reality you will be able to emerge victorious from a very difficult situation.

How to interpret a dream in which your own dead kitten came to life? We usually see recently deceased pets simply because we are grieving and missing them. However, if the death is long-standing, then the appearance of a revived pet in a dream should be interpreted as a return to former habits, relationships, and the resumption of old problems.

First aid for newborns

Among domestic cats, stillbirth is not uncommon. Even under satisfactory housing conditions, the percentage of stillborn kittens ranges from 4 to 15%.

Very often, the reason why a cat’s kittens die is the inexperience and illiteracy of the animal owner. Often, newly born babies may seem lifeless. Newborns may not move or make any sounds and are often mistaken for stillborn. However, competently carried out resuscitation measures can save the baby’s life:

  • First of all, it is necessary to free the kitten from the shell, this will allow him to breathe on his own.
  • The umbilical cord should be pinched with your fingers at a distance of 2 cm from the tummy for a few seconds (squeezing the blood vessels) and cut with sterile scissors. The wound should be treated with an antiseptic.

Scissors, gauze pads and antiseptic are the necessary materials for giving birth to a cat.

  • Your baby's nose and mouth may become clogged with mucus. In this case, it is necessary to empty the oral cavity and nasal passage using a small syringe.

Diapers and a syringe are important tools

  • After this manipulation, the cub is wrapped in a waffle towel and tilted head down to remove the remaining mucus.
  • Mouth-to-mouth artificial respiration helps to revive weak kittens. This should be done with the help of devices: a straw, a small syringe, etc. You need to blow air into the mouth at intervals of 3 - 5 seconds in small portions, taking into account the size of his lungs.
  • Carefully licking her kittens, the mother cat, at the level of instinct, carries out resuscitation of the weak cub. The owner can also imitate this behavior by using fingers wrapped in a sterile cloth for massage. Massage movements should be carried out on the head (from the forehead to the back), along the torso (from the tail to the neck) and on the tummy (in circular movements from the chest to the perineum). Manipulations should be carried out intensively.
  • At home, ammonia has been successfully used to revive kittens. A cotton wool soaked in the preparation should be brought to the baby’s nose several times.

You should know that resuscitation measures can be carried out for no more than 5 - 7 minutes if there is no heartbeat, and no more than 20 minutes if there is a heart rhythm.
