I know this is a strange question, but can cats pick up on pregnancy?

I ask for a reason, Miss Gracie has been really funny with me, cowering when I go near her, wont let me pick her up, and this am she attacked me!

Not long afer she did that this am,
I did a HPT, it came up pregnant straight away, I have worked out I am about 5 weeks pregnant, on sitting down with a cuppa tea and trying let the news sink in, I suddenly thought oo is this why Miss Gracie is funny with me, could she pick up on it?
(I tried asking hubby what he thought, but his reaction was to go clean the oven!) so looked on net, but cant find much, so thought would ask people thoughts on here, if thats ok?

thanks in advance

Some pets do pick up on these things. Your body is giving off different scents that may be imperceptible to the human nose but not to theirs.

Congrats?
