If the cat is pregnant with more babies, the due date will be shorter. If the cat is pregnant with fewer babies, the due date will be longer. During pregnancy, it is recommended that the owner take the cat to the hospital for regular check-ups to keep abreast of the physical condition and the development of the fetus, otherwise it may easily lead to premature birth and dystocia.
