Normal teething: the adult cat has 30 teeth, the kitten has 26.
Childbirth: the warning signs of childbirth are represented by the drop in rectal temperature (due to the decrease in the concentration of progesterone before childbirth) of about one degree Celsius compared to the average established by previous surveys (the temperature must be measured both in the morning and in the evening ).
Gestation: after mating, pregnancy occurs but, in the cat, an early diagnosis is not possible. The increase in abdominal volume is clearly noticeable only in advanced gestation, such as the elongation of the breasts, which become turgid.
The heat: indicates the period in which the female accepts the male for the purpose of reproduction. Males do not have an estrus cycle (reproductive season), they are always receptive and available to mate.
