It my guess too.  If she has say 3, they will be unevenly divided, wouldnt they?

Btw,  cats has several nipples.  so one missing shouldnt be a problem, unless she has a very large litter, or she having also other problems with her teats.

Good luck!

hello! i have another question. can any one show me a picture of a 5 week pregnant cat? thank you

When should i start to feel movement from the kittens? shes 37 days

MY HIMALAYAN IS 38 DAYS PREGNANT (5 WEEKS) I DONT FEEL ANYTHING YET.

Normally you will not feel kittens moving until 6-7 weeks into pregnancy. I would give it AT LEAST 15 more days before worrying about this unless you are absolutely certain of the day she got pregnant and even then, most likely things are /will be fine.  Sometimes you just won't feel them till later on-with one pregnant mom that I fostered I din't feel the kittens moving until I saw them moving around a week before the birth, and everything was fine. It depends on a lot of things including how many kittens, how big they are, even just if they happen to be moving at a time when you are feeling (they will move often late in pregnancy, but even then not constantly).

I know to you it probably feels like the pregnancy has gone on forever but really in a way 38 days is still early days.

Good luck with the rest of her pregnancy!

thank you soo much, i do feel like this pregnancy has gone on FOREVER! she hasnt gained much weight , is this normal still? what is the average litter size for a pedigree cat?

Honestly, I am not sure if the average litter size is different for pedigree cats / certain breeds or not since I have NO experience with breeding, but I've fostered really A LOT of litters and would say the average size tends to be 4-5.  However, I've had as few as 1 or as many as 8 in a litter... it really varies. What breed is she?

Regarding weight gain, yes, she should have gained some weight by now.  You should be feeding her CONSIDERABLY more than usual, and you should be feeding her kitten food, not cat food.  I am not really sure what the 'average' weight a cat gains during pregnancy is unfortunately- generally I pay not much attention unless something seems wrong, and in all honesty I have a lot more experience with new litters than with cats when they are first pregnant.  I am sure someone who knows a bit more will come by soon, but I will say as long as she IS gaining and eating a healthy amount of kitten food, there is probably no need for alarm!

thank you so much do you mind if i post a picture for you to look at?

she is a pure bred doll faced himalayan and was bred with a blue dramatic himalayan

No of course not! Please do!

Awwww so cute!

She has her little round belly now but its not huge or anything bigger every day id say so hopefully all is going well she eats like a horse

SHE WILL BE 43 DAYS TOMORROW AND I CANNOT FEEL ANY KICKING. IS THERE SOMETHING WRONG OR IS THIS NORMAL? DOES SHE LOOK THE RIGHT WEIGHT FOR THIS AMOUNT OF DAYS APROX 6 WEEKS

6 weeks is usually the EARLIEST you can expect to feel movement.  Give her AT LEAST one more week before worrying.  It can vary a great deal depending on the cat, the size of the litter, and how active they happen to be though.  You might still not feel them moving at 7 weeks or beyond, and that is NOT necessarily an indication that anything is wrong.

She looks fine to me from the pic.

great thank you i feel little pops sometimes but i figured that was gas or a belly grumble?!

As of a few days ago, my Tabby Stray Baby'Mama... whom adopted us.
I'd rub her belly, finally felt what I'd say were flutters Or bubbles.... Now a few days later there are definite kitty kicks! It's an agonizing wait, but with in days I started to feel them more prominently! I'm nervous as this is my first stray & first litter.... But my Baby Has Done great being an outdoor cat, now kept indoors due to, her birth being soon I assume.
Good luck sweetie!!!

oh my goodness i am so excited for you! this is my first litter as well i just started breeding himalayans! you should post a photo of your pregnant kitty!!! how far along is she
