Hi I have a 6 month old kitten. 5 days ago I took my cat and dog out side to play or get some fresh air. My dog kept barking at the corner but I ignored her because I thought she was just barking at nothing. About 10 minutes later I went to go check it out cause she was driving my crazy. Went I looked over the corner there was another cat messing with her. So I got her and the dog and put them in the house. 5 days later her stomach was a little bit big, and I was wondering could she be pregnant.

I agree with Cleo.  But the real problem is, she wont be visibly pregnant in just 5 days.  So, either she was meeting this tom already for a months ago, or it is some other problem.  Worms?   Something else??

Thus, off to the vet you go ASAP, for a check up, deworming if it isnt done properly yet,   AND spaying.

Here I do recommend spaying even if she met her mr  Thomas O´Malley already for a month ago.  Not so pleasant, but the kittens arent able to live before just a couple of days before the delivery, unlike human unborn.

Do you use to look at her tummy?  Has she got noticeably more rose teats lately? If so, its a months ago.

If she has no more intensive rosy teats, the bigger belly is some other problem.

Good luck!

She is a cutie! Anyway, 5 days isn't a long enough period of time to go from zero to pregnant (and be able to tell). I would recommend taking her to the vet as well and like the others have said she may be growing or it could be worms.

Round worms they usually get from  moms, if mom wasnt properly dewormed.  It comes through to babies with the milk.

Tape worms are more scarce, as they usually come with prey.  But fleas are an intermediate hosts of tape worms, so if they were flea infested at some time, they can get  tape worms even if pure inside eating just cat food...

She's a cutie!

However, cat's don't show until the last few weeks, depending on the size of the cat. Keep us posted!
