Can Cats Sense Pregnancy Labor
The short answer is yes.
Can cats sense pregnancy labor. The pre-labor stage usually starts 1 week before delivery and you may observe several signs including drops of milk in the nipple area loss of appetite and rectal temperature drop. Do cats and dogs know they are pregnant. Foolproof evidence may not exist but claims from animal.
I have 2 dogs and 1 cat and they all follow me throughout the day. Again humans can rarely detect these things but we cats can. Animals have sharp sensors that are quite more enhanced than our senses.
During pregnancy you experience profound changes in your hormonal levels when your body begins producing more progesterone estrogen and human chorionic gonadotropin hCG hormones. Also called the nesting stage this is when your cat will start looking for warm places to give birth. After 2-3 weeks the belly starts growing and the catdog will notice the change.
Im only 2 months and 4 days along I have a puppy who stays by my 247 my mother says its because she knows Im pregnant. It can also sense that a female is pregnant even before getting the test results. Animals do have a higher sense of awareness than most humans do so Id say yes.
Your cat more than likely cant sense that youre pregnant. I know ive kinda ranted on there but yeah i do think animals can sense pregnancy and when a woman is near to going into labour the same as they know when other animals are going to have their babies my friends cat started following the dog about and not leaving her alone and no one knew why then they lost the dog and found her under the bed with 8 puppies. However it doesnt occur the same way across the board.
Yes pregnancy can affect a cats behavior. Cats hearing is considerably sharper than humans so they would hear the babys heart beat and as mine keep snuggling up to the bump resting their weary heads on the bump I am sure they can. Pregnancy can cats sense it.
