Nursery room for Queen and her kitten

   Welcome to the purr-fect blog post for all the cat lovers out there! Today, we are diving into the wonderful world of the nursery cat room. Creating a calming and dedicated space for your feline friend is not only important for their well-being but also for the arrival of their adorable kittens. Let’s explore the importance of having a nursery cat room and how to set it up for success.
   We have 4 adults queens at the moment and possible more and every one of them likes to have they own space, especially before and after giving birth. We decided to have a room, The Nursery, where the mum and kittens have their own secure space. Mum stays all the time with the kittens, but if she wants she is allowed to go out. Room have CCTVs to monitor mum and kittens 24/7.
   Having a designated nursery cat room is essential for providing a safe and comfortable environment for your pregnant cat and her soon-to-arrive kittens. Cats are creatures of habit and having a familiar and calming space can help reduce stress and anxiety during this crucial time.
   A dedicated cat room allows your feline friend to have their own space away from the hustle and bustle of the household. It provides a quiet and peaceful retreat for your cat to rest, relax, and prepare for the arrival of her kittens. Additionally, having a separate space can help prevent any potential conflicts with other pets or children in the home.
   When choosing a room for your cat, consider these factors:
   Sunlight: Cats love to bask in sunlight. A room with plenty of natural light is ideal.
   Noise Levels: Pick a quiet area away from loud appliances or traffic.
   Accessibility: Ensure the room is easy to access for both you and your cat.
   Optimizing Space: Furniture Placement for Cats
   Before your cat gives birth, it is important to prepare the cat room with all the essential supplies. This includes a cosy bed or nesting box to give birth in, as well as food and water dishes, a litter box, few toys and scratching posts to keep your cat entertained.
   Room is adjusted depending of the mum and kittens needs. At first, we opted for waterproof laminate, but later we decided to change to vinyl which for us is the best option for Nursery: is one sheet of vinyl, no space between planks for liquid to go underneath and very easy to clean.
   After your cat gives birth, it is crucial to maintain a calm and quiet environment in the room. Limit visitors and loud noises, and provide plenty of privacy for your cat and her kittens to bond and nurse. Keep the room warm and comfortable, and ensure that your cat has access to fresh water and nutritious food. For the first month the room is not full of toys so kittens to have space around to strengthen, to become confident and exploring the room. Around 4 to 5 weeks old, depending how they walking, we introduce them the wet food. The transition from mum’s milk to wet food is made gradually by feeding them a special paste (mousse). Some kittens like it, some not, some start to eat wet food straight away. And few days later, dry food is added to they’re meal. Once they start to eat wet and dry food, they will need to use the litter tray. Because they are still babies and might be difficult to reach the litter tray, we use different tools to help them, but the best solution is the 3 Tier Stair Expandable😊, easy for kittens to reach the litter tray, a new toy because they like to hid underneath. Next step is bringing more cat tree, toys (balls, mice, etc) and most importantly scratch posts in different shapes and forms: tower, floor scratch post, wall scratch post, round scratch post. Now the room is set up for kittens to play and develop.
   When setting up the cat room, make sure to include all the essential supplies your cat will need. This includes a comfortable bed or nesting box, food and water dishes, a litter box, toys, scratching posts, and a cozy blanket or towel for your cat and her kittens to snuggle up in.
   To maintain a calming atmosphere in the cat room, make sure to keep it clean and clutter-free. Regularly clean the litter box, wash your cat’s bedding, and provide fresh water and food. Play soothing music or use a pheromone diffuser to help reduce stress and anxiety in your cat. Room is clean for kittens to avoid infectious diseases. This is the reason for the first four weeks room to be filled only with minimum necessary.
   It is important to create a safe and secure space for your feline friend in the nursery. Make sure that the cat room is escape-proof and free of any potential hazards. Keep toxic plants, chemicals, and small objects out of reach, and provide plenty of vertical space for your cat to climb and explore.
   Creating a nursery cat room is essential for providing a calming and dedicated space for your pregnant cat and her kittens. By following these tips and setting up the cat room with essential supplies, you can ensure a safe and comfortable environment for your feline friend during this special time.
