Do female cats definitely not eat before giving birth?

Generally, female cats will not eat for 1 to 2 days before giving birth. At this time, the female cat will be upset and lose appetite, which is normal. Just prepare enough water for the cat. Moreover, the female cat should not be fed too much during pregnancy, otherwise the female cat will gain weight and may easily suffer from dystocia. After giving birth, the female cat needs timely nutritional supplements. It is best to feed her some highly nutritious, easy-to-digest and absorb foods, such as chicken, Eggs, fish, broth, goat milk powder, etc.
