So I have my little cat that looks like a kitten herself, but she is a year and half old but I but this down to her breed. She is an in door cat that decided to go out about 6 weeks ago, and we thought she is pregnant, so we tuck her to the vets and was sure she was. The problem is she ran out 2 weeks ago went missing for a whole week I was so upset went knocking on doors posting posters and ringing different rescue places, after a week she turn up she had lost weight but still has her bump and teats but I have not seen any movement in her belly, she has put a lot of weight back on and has not left my side. The thing I am wondering is she still pregnant? Could anyone give me any advise please thank you

Hi welcome to the site :wavey:

If she is only about 6 weeks pregnant now - you would only now just be seeing any kitten movement if not for another week. You can normally only feel and see kitten movement in the last 2-3 weeks of pregnancy.

I would be worried about her being so tiny and giving birth - you say she only looks like a kitten. If she was mated by a large male cat, the kittens might be to large to give birth to naturally and she will then need a c-section. You said she is small because of her breed, what breed is she ?
Also female cats can come back into heat as quickly as two weeks after giving birth. So you need to be extra careful that she doesn't escape from the house until she as been spayed. :D

Hello, thank you for reply, she is half Persian,
coco is the black cat, next to the kitten so you can see she is small to a normal size cat. But I am just not sure if she is still pregnant.
Thank you
