I've never actually seen a pregnant cat before, so I can't be positive, but I'm 98% sure Shinobi is pregnant. Her belly is larger than before (not lots, but she's definitely gotten bigger), and I can feel now what I can only assume to be nipples. Her health otherwise seems to be fine, good appetite, still as affectionate as ever. If I'm wrong on this and you don't think she's pregnant, feel free to tell me, 'cause I'll have her checked out if she's not.
In the event that she is, I could use some advice and tips on how to make this easiest for her - two other cats and a dog live here as well, so privacy is hard to come by, and I know she's going to need someplace of her own for birthing. Suggestions and ideas are welcome - what I've thought of so far is borrowing my roommates old dog cage (big cage) and setting up a bed for her somewhere in a corner.
As a last note, I am excited to see what kind of kittens she'll have - she's solid black while her mother was solid white, and the father is a B&W (Parrot, if you know him), while his mother was a calico. Can the calico trait be passed down through him, since he's male?
