My cat, Mary Jane, is maybe around a year old. She adopted us when we moved into our apartment and has been and indoor-outdoor cat. We intended to get her spayed a while ago but between a new baby and a month of hospitalizations for my husband, it fell low on the priority list. I'm paying for it now, because I think MJ might be pregnant. We are prepared, honestly. I have some left over KMR from fostering a baby bunny, and I've fostered everything from house mice to puppies. I'm all set when there are babies to take care of. And she will absolutely be spayed and kept indoors afterall roof this.
I just can't decide whether she is pregnant or not. Her belt, while not huge is noticeably larger and pendulous. Her nipples are a pale pink, if they have pinkened it's marginal at best, but they are very noticeably swollen. When she walks her belly sways opposite of the side she's bearing weight on. Sitting is an awkward task for her now, she plays laying down, food is no longer her number one priority and she's acting the same way she did when I was pregnant and about to deliver. At times you can stroke her belly and you'll feel a little lump. A few seconds later, it's gone. And now today I had my hand resting on her belly and I felt these tiny little nudges against my palm.
While her pregnancy is not ideal, it is not unwanted. We're ready to accept responsibility of our irresponsibility. I just don't know whether I should further prepare for kittens or if this could all be something else? I'm going to try and get a picture of her in the next day or two. It's tough though because she's entirely black on her body so seeing her curves is a little more difficult.
