How much weight should I expect each day? or in stages by weeks??
I weigh her each day.
My female is gaining about 1oz(more or less) a day in the past 15 days. Yesterday I calculated she has gained 10.5oz from Aug 01 to Aug 15.
Her first day of heat was on July 19 for about 4 to 6 days. No visual of a successful breeding was witnessed since I was not around 24/7. I'm a registered breeder and a member of multiple cat associations. My King and queen will not be spayed or neutered until retired. This is my first breeding pair. I have experienced more with raising newborns(rescues) but never with cat pregnancy. I can chat privately about my breeding program through private messages and open to advise. For this post, I would appreciate if we stick to the topic, if anyone has experience with weighing their cats early in pregnancy and how many kittens were born to compare weight gain. If you can share your weight history and how many kittens they ended up having. I know the number of kittens will have a role in how much weight is gained, what I have been told. The fewer kittens the less weight gain, vis vera. Thank you in advance!
Her weight history:
April 07: 8.19lbs (8 months old)
May 20: 8.4lbs
June 02: 8.8lbs (10 months old)
Aug 01: 8.7lbs / 139 oz / 3946g (1 year old)
Aug 15 : 9.35 lbs / 149.7 oz / 4243.92g
Thank you much! I will get an X-ray at about 45- 50 days since her heart cycle. To confirm her pregnancy and how many to expect to deliver
