Pregnant cats can eat mulberries. Mulberries are rich in live protein, vitamins, amino acids, minerals, carotene and other nutrients. Eating some mulberries in moderation is good for pregnant cats. Mulberry pulp is very helpful for pregnant cats to supplement nutrition. However, mulberries contain tannic acid and should not be overfed. Eating too much will restrict gastrointestinal motility and cause constipation. It is recommended that cat owners supplement their cats with more high-quality protein during pregnancy, such as beef, chicken breast, etc., and just feed them some fruits appropriately.
Precautions when giving mulberries to pregnant cats:
1. Do not give mulberries to pregnant cats that are not ripe. The mulberries must be ripe. Red and purple mulberries indicate they are mature. Such mulberries are rich in nutrients and contain a large amount of protein, fat, fiber, carbohydrates, vitamin A, vitamin E and other nutrients, which are helpful for pregnant cats.
2. Mulberries contain tannic acid, which can inhibit an individual’s absorption of calcium, iron, zinc and other elements, as well as gastrointestinal motility. If a pregnant cat eats too many mulberries, it will affect the body's nutrient absorption and cause constipation. Therefore, owners must not feed pregnant cats too much.
3. Cats need to supplement a large amount of high-quality protein during pregnancy, so cat owners should not feed their cats too much fruit, but should feed them protein-rich foods, such as beef, chicken breast, fish, etc.
