If your cat is pregnant, there are a few things you should be aware of to ensure her health and the health of her kittens. While it is not required to register your cat's pregnancy with the state of California, it is recommended that you take your cat to a veterinarian for a check-up and to ensure that she is up-to-date on her vaccinations.

It is important to provide your pregnant cat with proper nutrition and care, and to make sure she has a clean, safe, and comfortable place to give birth and care for her kittens. You should also prepare for the potential arrival of kittens by providing appropriate supplies, such as a nesting box, blankets, and kitten food.

Regarding the legality of having a pregnant cat in California, there are no laws that prohibit cat breeding or ownership. However, if you are planning to breed cats, it is important to do so responsibly and ethically, and to follow all relevant laws and regulations.

In California, it is illegal to perform an abortion on a cat or any other animal without a valid veterinary medical reason. If you are concerned about your cat's pregnancy and have questions about your options, it is best to consult with a veterinarian or animal welfare organization for guidance and support. It is important to prioritize the health and well-being of your cat and her kittens, and to ensure that they receive proper care and attention throughout the pregnancy and after the birth of the kittens.<|im_end|>

In California, there is no legal requirement to register a pregnant cat. However, if you plan to breed your cat, there may be other legal requirements and regulations that you need to be aware of, such as obtaining permits and complying with breeding standards.

As for whether you should be worried, it depends on your individual situation. Pregnancy and birth can pose risks to cats, especially if they are young or have underlying health issues. It is important to provide your pregnant cat with proper nutrition, care, and monitoring, and to consult with a veterinarian if you have any concerns or questions.

The number of cats born in a litter can vary depending on various factors, including the breed of the cat, the age and health of the mother, and environmental factors. On average, cats usually give birth to between one and nine kittens, with three to five being the most common.<|im_end|>
