What vitamins or care does my pregnant cat need for a healthy litter?

Question

My cat is about a month pregnant now and I just found out today. She naturally has a vitamin deficiency on top of the father of her litter is her brother.... so I need to know if there is any vitamins I can get for her or is there anything I need to do for the coming month of her pregnancy?

Blu should be getting a high quality cat food during her pregnancy, which will provide her with all the vitamins she and her kittens need to be healthy. It's typically not recommend to give a cat a vitamin supplement during pregnancy. That's because an overdose of vitamins can cause ill effects in Blu and her kittens. Too much vitamin A, for example, lead to the develop of cleft palates in the kittens. You can speak to your vet to see if they think it's safe to give her a vitamin supplement, and they can recommend one. Leave food out for her all the time, and you can supplement her diet with canned cat food. Make sure she always has access to plenty of fresh water. Get her up to date on her deworming treatments, and make sure she is flea treated. It's safe to use Revolution on pregnant cats. I would have her brother neutered to prevent him from mating with her again.
