What are the signs a mother cat shows before giving birth?
Before giving birth, a female cat usually shows signs such as restlessness, nesting, pacing in circles, reduced appetite, lying on her side, and crying out in pain. A cat's pregnancy lasts about 58–65 days, and a small amount of milk begins to secrete 2–3 days before delivery, with swollen, red nipples. Just before birth, the cat's temperature drops about 1°C and then returns to normal; if a watery or slightly bloody discharge appears at the vulva, the cat is about to deliver.

Why is my male cat peeing blood?
Blood in a male cat's urine may come from urinary disease or poisoning. Male cats have narrow urethras; low water intake raises kidney strain and urine crystals, raising the risk of stones, cystitis, and nephritis. See a vet for frequent, scanty, painful urination. Second, genital injury can also cause bloody urine; check the opening, apply anti-inflammatory cream, and use an Elizabethan collar. Finally, eating onions or rat poison may cause toxic hemolysis; rush to a vet.
