What will happen to a cat's fake pregnancy?

Usually, we call some pregnancy-like symptoms such as breast enlargement and abdominal bulge after estrus in cats as pseudopregnancy. Pseudopregnancy in cats is mainly related to progesterone. Under normal circumstances, the corpus luteum will soon disappear.

When the cat is not pregnant, the corpus luteum in the ovary exists for a long time and continuously secretes estrogen and progesterone, so that these two hormones in the cat are kept at the same level as those in normal pregnancy. At this time, the cat will have symptoms similar to pregnancy, which is false pregnancy.

When a cat is pregnant, it can be observed for a few days. Generally, the symptoms will be relieved after a few days. If the symptoms don't show signs of abating, you should go to a pet hospital for treatment by a professional doctor. In order to avoid false pregnancy, doctors usually recommend sterilization to remove ovaries and uterus once and for all.
