I just noticed today my barn cat has rather pink nipples. The tissue under them is also quite thick if that makes sense. weight-wise, she does not appear pregnant whatsoever.
I've never been around a cat in heat but from what I have read on the internet, it's relatively easy to tell. I honestly do not recall any signs or "cat-in-season" behaviour at all from her. So, unless she is good at hiding it, I don't think she has even had her first heat yet.
So what's up with the large pink nipples?.. they were definitely not like this before. Aren't they supposed to be small and white/flesh colored?

Any outdoor cat over 4 months old (unless you live on an island with no tomcats :tongue2
will be pregnant/nursing at almost all times (she may take a short break mid-winter). You won't see her in heat because a tom will tag her before you notice signs. If you don't want 2-3 litters a year for the rest of her life (which would likely be shortened if she's allowed to breed that much), you'll need to have her spayed.
