Is your Siamese cat pregnant? Maybe you aren't sure but she is acting strangely different. This would be a good time to take her into the vet to see what's going on and find out if you need to prepare for a pregnancy! It's a known fact that the Siamese cat breed have larger litters of kittens so you want to make sure you have everything you need to make the process as easy as possible on your cat.
The duration of your cats pregnancy is 9-10 weeks so you do have some time to get things ready. You will need to speak with your vet if you don't know already about what to feed her and how much. It will differ from the norm since she will be eating for more than just herself. It's very very important that she gets all the nutrients and vitamins that she needs to give birth to a healthy litter.
You will need to pick an area in your home that is away from all the action so it's quiet and safe. Setting up a bedded area on the floor with water and food is necessary. It's a good idea to do this early in the pregnancy so that she becomes familiar and comfortable enough to have her babies in this spot. You don't want her going off somewhere and having them in a place that you can't get to if need be. This area should be for your pregnant Siamese and her only. Don't let your family members or other pets hang out here... this could cause her to go elsewhere.
Stay near by when she is going into the birthing process in case she needs your help with anything. Doing some research or speaking with your vet about possible complications during her pregnancy would be smart of you so you can be prepared to help her. Once the kittens have been born, make sure not to touch them. I made this mistake once when I was younger and she took them all outside into a bush in the yard. Not a good place for a mama cat and her kittens. She may even reject them if you or your family members handle them.
