Welcome to Info Drive Discussion #3! In this thread, we’ll be discussing the Condition Pregnancy. Here are things to consider when responding to this thread, so if you have thoughts on any of the following please feel free to add them! And if you’re a bit unsure as to what exactly this is about, there’s a thread about the Info Drive system here. Cause: How does this condition occur? Why does it happen to a cat? Symptoms and Signs: How does this condition present in a cat? How would a medicine cat or other healer be able to diagnose it? How or what would a cat with this condition feel? Effect: What impact does this condition have on a cat? What consequences can there be if it’s left untreated? Treatment: How would a medicine cat or other healer go about treating this condition? This thread will be open for discussion until November 30th, 2022! After that it will be locked and whatever we have decided on will be considered canon!

I’m going to leave someone else to describe the cause of pregnancy LOL
Some symptoms of pregnancy in cats include weight gain, increased appetite, swollen abdomen, vomiting, and perhaps a personality change. The gestation period lasts for about 2-3 moons or 9 weeks/quarter-moons. Cats can have a litter with more than one father, though I’m not sure if this is something that will be added on here.
For how it feels to be pregnant, cats might become more irritated, anxious, fatigued, experience nausea or mood swings, and increased sensitivity (to certain senses).

When Riley and I were picking which topics to go with this moon I knew that would come up xD "Well you see, when two cats love each other very much..." xD
In all seriousness, I think something simple and to the point would be best. Maybe "The result of two cats mating. Produces kittens." or something like that? LOL
I'd love to include litters with multiple fathers, honestly! I'd have to figure out how to do it with the Litter Generator, but I'd say it's definitely possible in this universe. And to be more precise on timing, for TCR in the Litters Department I've got it so that a healthy pregnancy with no complications will last anywhere from 58-67 days (or about two moons, like you said).

Ooh!! Multiple dads would be funky. Imagine the polyam relationship possibilities heheheheh As for treatment, there’s burnet to help with strength. Although it’s most commonly used as a traveling herb, it’s also used to help expecting queens. I also imagine any other herbs that deal with nausea would be used as well. Ginger, though not a canonical Warriors herb, is used to treat nausea for humans in real life, and is edible for cats. Beyond typical medicine treatment, I think that queens would also serve an important role as support, offering advice, stories, and emotional guidance. Maybe there would be clan-specific traditions and customs regarding the role of queens during a pregnancy period?
