Here are a few recent photo's of Pixie's pregnant tummy. You can't see her developing nipples because of all of her fur (mid-length, she is) - but they are definitely there! However, it will require an assistant to get those shots.
As it was, getting these was a challenge, as it was "playtime".
note how the front half and back half look like two entirely different sizes?
sorta action shot - so kinda blurry
Go ahead - just try to touch my belly!
Actually, she loves her belly rubbed. She shows off her claws and teeth when playing - but retracts them before grabbing / smacking, and has never bitten, either.
Best guess is she's about half way along in her pregnancy....5 weeks? 6 weeks? Haven't felt movement yet, which I understand occurs around week 7. I've had her 3 1/2 weeks, and she was just starting to show when she got here. But she was "underfed" to put it nicely, being a stray, and a week later she wasn't looking as obviously pregnant as she was when she first arrived.
