hello; we currently have 2 cats called Tinks and Fifi.....Tinks is male and 3 and has been neutered, whereas Fifi has just turned 1 and we think that she may be pregnant. There is a cat who lives down the road from us called Troy who we used to let into our house but we noticed that when Fifi was in season them two were getting a little frisky-about two months ago we noticed she was getting extremely affectionate around us and the other cats and wondered if she was pregnant......However she showed no other signs up until a couple of days ago so we believed she wasn't (apart from a couple of weeks ago when she was affectionate but that only lasted for a few days and wasn't as bad as her initally being in season. Now we have noticed that her belly has gotten considerably bigger + I believe that I have just seen baby kittens kicking inside of her......Other changes we have noted are that she is a lot more tired than usual, less lively, less affectionate and hates us rubbing her stomach, whereas before she used to love it.......There isn't really any doubt for us that she is pregnant now, however I would really appreciate it if someone would be able to roughly gage how long through the pregnancy they believe she is......We are taking all of the necessary precautions: eg. arranging a medical kit and setting up a comfy nest for her to be able to reside to when the time comes.......What else do we need to do and how far along do you think that she is? Thank you!

If you  decide when the mating  was, add65  toit,  you will get  close enough.  You can usually feel moements from2  weeks before on...

Otherwise it is in much a game of guessing and waiting.

Welcome to our Forums!

Good  luck!

If you are seeing kittens moving she probably has a couple of weeks left.  But what a shame you didn't get her spayed before she started calling.  Don't let her out as you don't want her having the kittens outside, and don't let her out once she has delivered until you have had her spayed.  She can and will (if she goes out) get pregnant again, quite possibly rather quickly, and you also don't want a cat with tiny vulnerable kittens going out and having an accident leaving you to try to hand-rear them.
