Fetal death sometimes occurs during cat pregnancy. This phenomenon is called fetal resorption or fetal resorption. It can cause one or more fetuses to die in the mother cat's uterus.


Fetal resorption is a natural process that may be caused by abnormal embryonic development, unfavorable maternal conditions, genetic problems, etc. Under normal circumstances, the female cat's body will automatically absorb the dead fetus and expel it from the body. This is a natural protective mechanism to ensure the health of the mother and other fetuses.


Specifically, each female cat's experience and condition may be different, so it is impossible to determine whether fetal death will occur in every pregnancy, and how many fetuses will die. In some cases, the female cat may not have any fetal resorption, while in other cases it may occur.


If your female cat is pregnant and you are concerned or feel something is abnormal, please consult your veterinarian promptly for examination and consultation. A veterinarian can assess the female cat's health and provide appropriate advice and treatment.
