My cat is pregnant and nesting in my closet. What should I do?

Question

Hello! I took my kitty Mia to the vet about a week ago and she is pregnant! She is also in her 3rd trimester. I think she has been nesting as well, but in my closet. I don’t want her to have her kittens in my closet, I have tried to make beds with food and water and a litter tray by here, but she just won’t take to it. Any suggestions? Thanks! -Liz.

Hello, it may be hard to get her to change her nesting location. They ideally want a private, quiet, location where they feel safe. It’s probably why she preferred your closet, therefore, providing her with a close alternative may change her location. Alternatively, you can put something in your closet to prevent her from coming in or keep the closet doors shut. Ultimately, you may not be able to fully avoid this and could maybe get her a basket or some other form of container where she can have her kittens that whay your closet could remain clean. Hope this helps and best of luck
