Possibly pregnant

The week before Christmas I left my female kitten with a person whom I believed would care for my fur babies properly. Tricksy hasn't been fixed yet & when I expressed concern about this persons unneutered male cat, she assured me he mainly stayed outside & wouldn't be allowed in the house for the week. She didn't keep her promise & claims they met by accident but seeing there wasn't a fight she let them hang out. She also claims never to have left them alone. Many other promises weren't kept either. So around 3 weeks after Christmas I noticed that Tricksy's nipples could been seen from across the room. They weren't pink though. At first I thought she might be going into heat early, she eats Blue Buffalo Wilderness & fruits & vegetables so she grew much quicker than her sister. I don't have her sister but keep in touch with the woman who does. Anyway I called to get her spayed & the woman asked if there was any possibility she could be pregnant. So since then I've been wondering. After a few days I began to feel small lumps under the nipples but they seemed to go down after about 10 days or so. Now about a week later the nipples seem to be popping out again & I can feel the small lumps under them again. They still aren't pink or very large & it doesn't bother her to touch them. I'm not an expert but I've noticed that her belly feels firmer when I pick her up. She's been quite active. It seems as if she jumps higher & does more flips every day. If she is pregnant then 63 days from the earliest possible mating will be February 21, so if she is pregnant I'm guessing she would be around 47 days. I don't see a definitive bulge at this point & I'm wondering if there was only 1 kitten & with her being so young is it possible she's not showing yet? Is it possible for her to be pregnant & not have pink nipples? I wish I could trust this woman's word that a mating never occurred but I can't so I'm very worried.

Hi Queen Cambear, I hate to say but your girl sounds pregnant. Cats mate fast so your friend could very of missed it. A vet would be able to confirm.

Thanks Jodie, unfortunately I'm on disability so I don't want to spend the money on a vet unless it's necessary. I will have to wait, luckily I was only gone a week so I'll know either way by the end of this month. I really hope we're both wrong & I'm worrying for nothing. Unfortunately my gut doesn't think we are. I'll let you know when I find out for sure. Tricksy was taken from her mom too soon so I hope she'll know what to do if she has kittens.
