My grandmother had cat sitted for me for a entire month and it was 4-8 weeks ago while I was moving out of state and I was told when I asked if she had gotten out of the house that my cat had cried at the door so bad that she assumed she was an outdoor/indoor cat and let her come and go as she pleased now to me she looks fat but I can't tell if that's just me being paranoid or she actually is bigger I asked my grandmothers neighbor and found out she had two un- neutered outside cats and now I'm getting worried. I original noticed that she may be pinking while I was rubbing her belly today now I'm trying to guess if she would be about how long I had till she had kittens. And I have so many questions about her care and birth since this if she did have any would b my first and only litter

If she isn't spayed and has been outside, she's definitely pregnant :(. Even if the neighbor didn't have intact males, toms will come from 5 miles away to see a female, so there's really no chance of her not getting pregnant, unless she's infertile for some reason.

There's really no way to know for sure how far along she is with that timeline. All you can do is wait at this point. Cats are pregnant for about 9 weeks, so anywhere from 1-5 weeks left, if it was 4-8 weeks ago that she was outside. Read up on cat birthing, keep the emergency vet's number handy, and hope everything goes well.

Yea I'm rly not happy with my grandmother right now I had held off on getting her fixed until I could find a vet I was 100% comfortable with and now I'm regretting it right now here are my top questions and concerns.
1. Could this possible make her more aggressive to my other cat who is only about half her size and my dog and should I keep them separated?
2. I know cats are pretty sufficient during birth but is there anything in-particular I should be looking for as potential emergencies? And if so is there any emergency supplies I should have stocked up?
3. Will this pregnancy have any long term effects on her temperament?
4. How long till she can get fixed afterwords?
