Pregnant girl - Skylark

Here are some pictures I snapped of Skylark. She is still fairly spooky with me, but gets as close as she can without being obvious about it. She's usually on the bed behind me when I am on the computer in my room.

AWWWW - so she IS pregnant by your boy? Congrats - when is she due for the cute silver babies?

Want to compare them to Oci babies the first few weeks.....hehehe

She is pretty,
Is she due in Feb?

Guess I should say possibly pregnant. They mated over 2 days under my supervision, and then a further 2 were possible mating days as something happened and my cat-sitter let Tsekani out free in the house when I went home for Christmas. I came back early to fix it, and she was definitely not in heat anymore.

She'd be due Feb 25th if she went the full term.

Sounds like she is preg.
Are her nipples red?
My Meeko never did show when she was preg.
The only sign was her nipples were red.
The vet was not even sure.
She just had one kitten and I kept him.
I lost him a year ago at age 5 though.
My Meeko is fatter now then when she was preg.

oh my goodness, what a BEAUTIFUL kitty!

She is gorgeous!

She has lovely eyes, especially in the first pic.

Very pretty girl

Feb 25th is my sister's birthday and Feb 27th is my mom's - so maybe they will be born on one of those days

She's beautiful. I can't wait to see pictures of her and her babies.

She is very beautiful! I love that color.
Feb 25th is my birthday too.

What a lovely cat! She's going to have beautiful kittens!

your cat is so beautiful

She is really pretty. i have a question about her and what you said here, will send you a pm

She was rolling on the bed today, but hasn't been meowing more than usual. I'm wondering if possibly she didn't take?

How long has it been since mating? If she comes back into heat after 4 weeks of mating, she didn't take.

OK - this week is just over the 4th week. She hasn't been rolling, and the one time she did it was on the bed, just rolling on her back from side to side. I have been watching for other signs such as calling or being extra affectionate. She is noticeably fatter since I first got her, but she may just be eating a lot. I free feed premium dry food and give them wet food in the mornings.

Why aren't pregnancy tests available for cats? Is the only verification through ultrsound/x-ray?

I think that some vets can do a blood test to look for elevated levels of estrogen/progesterone, but since a cat's pregnancy is so short, I imagine by the time you have the test back you'll know for certain by looking at her if she took.

Pregnancy calmed my wild girl down a lot-- she became much more sociable during her term.

Don't worry, if she didn't take this time, you can try again. It's not like you need to go somewhere for a stud!! Perhaps Tsekani might have bred her too early in her heat cycle.

But I have a feeling that you're like me with my first litter, and just watching her closely for any and every sign that things are going as you planned

What colour are her nipples? At 3 weeks old you should be able to tell straight away
