===============================================

There are several factors that might cause a pregnant cat, or queen, to have early contractions, resulting in premature kitten birth. Bacterial infections, viral infections, the loss of one or more babies, ovarian cysts, hormonal imbalances, injuries, starvation, a change in environment/moving, and practically any form of stress that can put a cat into mental and physical anguish can all result in premature delivery. A cat may be genetically susceptible to premature labor in some situations.

Preterm delivery in cats is described as a birth occurring before the optimal 63-day gestation period. Kittens born after 61 days of gestation have a better probability of surviving.
