Hellooo, as you see in the title, that's my main question. Her name is Bay and she is indeed a runt. She was in heat in January and she was having her cycles off and on. There was a male cat in our house that was a family friends kitty around January 20th and of course they became friendly after a while. I didn't know if he did get her pregnant because they both were inexperienced. Bay was 9 months old at the time. She didn't have any signs after he left, so I thought nothing of it. After a week or so went by, I noticed she wasn't meowing like she usually does with her being in heat. So it got me thinking, maybe she did get pregnant.. Ever since then, she hasn't been heat meowing. She has been licking her vagina often, does get irritated when I mess with her belly, and she is unusually affectionate. She is a runt so I was wondering will her belly be a normal sized pregnant tummy or would it be small ? It's not huge, but it is plump. Her nipples are also not as pink as others I have seen. Soo please help me determine if she's pregnant or not ? Thank you very much :)

You can bet as sure as you are reading this she is pregnant.

First (hopefully the last as we are quite pro-spay/neuter around here!) litter may be smaller anyway, so she may not get huge.

Oh yes, it is the last ! Haha I wanted one more baby, hopefully a white one. & if there's more kittens we already found good homes. As soon as she can get spayed after giving birth, we will be taking her and the baby :) That is another question actually.. How long after birth can we take her to her spayed ? & how old does the kitten have to be to get spayed ?

When the kittens are fully eating on their own, around 6, by 7 weeks old, momma should be seperated and allowed at least 10 days to dry up somewhat, and can be spayed.

Kittens, some vets will do it by 2 pounds (9 weeks) and others want to wait until 4 months.

Just have to call around different vets.

I would make sure mom has no intact males around her or she will surely be prego again, and fast! As early as 2 weeks after giving birth.

Do not allow her outdoors, or you will be spaying/aborting her.

Oh yeah, of course ! We do not want her getting pregnant again. The cats that do live here with her are fixed and we do not let her outdoors. Thank you so much for the help, I appreciate it :D
