Pets don't require vitamins if they are on a high quality pet food. Also unless your cat Nancy was diagnosed with a vitamin deficiency, she doesn't need vitamins at all really. Vitamins in people, in fact, are designed to replace the nutrients that we are missing from our diet due to poor food choices. The only recommendation for feeding a pregnant cat is to feed them a high calorie diet, which is why we recommend kitten food for the 2nd trimester on until the puppies are weaned off of mama cats milk. I hope that this helps and best wishes with your mama cat Nancy and her soon to be kittens! You sure sound like you are preparing well for the big day! : ) Take care.
