There hasn't really been much more change her top two nipples are still pink and stick out a bit but the rest don't look the same there pink but not sticking out much her belly dosnt seem that big she's constantly sleeping when I try and open cupboards or drawers ect she's trying to get in them but it's all confusing the heck out of me cos her belly is still tiny it feels a bit bumpy when she's lying on her back but not anything definate [emoji]128530[/emoji]
Oh, I just saw this post! :)

A lot of sleeping could be a sign, a bumpy belly as well... She's surely confusing us.

They don't look like she is pregnant it's normal for them to be pink like that especially with white fur there. If she goes outside and isn't spade she will probably be pregnant soon though.

Do you have any indication that she could be pregnant? E.g. Has she been outside? Is she helped yet? Have you seen her in heat yet? Is she having any heat signs currently?

The nipples are pinker than they should probably be, even for a with white cat (Both my girls are light colored and their nipples aren't usually that pink). It can mean pregnancy, but it can also mean in heat or just a warm moment. If it remains as such in the upcoming 2 days it's either heat or pregnancy. If she doesn't have any other heat symtoms and she isn't helped and was allowed outside, then you can assume she's pregnant.

She had to go the vets 4 wks ago due to her being I'll the vet said it looked like she had been in a fight with another cat and had an abcess on her leg so it kinda got me thinking maybe a male has tried to get her and she's fought back now with her nipples being a lot pinker than normal compared to the pics further up the page she was getting spayed last month but due to a £100 vet bill so close after Christmas we had to put it on hold so we had planned to get her in the end of this month

I can't say for certain, but if it is just the top 2 nipples, I don't think she is pregnant. She could be having a false pregnancy (happened to one of my breeders). It could also be hormones causing it. Even if you don't notice physical signs of heat, it can happen. I have one girl who has silent heats which is why if a litter isn't planned it is best to spay. 

As a side note, a female can have mammary hyperplasia, swelling of the breasts caused by hormones before and during a heat. We have had this happen to several cats to varying degrees. With 2 sisters, the front nipples enlarged but there was no noticeable swelling beyond that. With another girl, she looked like Dolly Parton on 4 legs - I couldn't believe she could walk. It usually happens with the first heat, but can reoccur - it didn't with my cats. It can become a major medical issue if the swelling s big enough, the tissue can become necrotic.

Sorry for the lecture - get me started on cats and I don't know when to shut up!

All her nipples are the same bright pink the other posts further up the page were from last month they've merged my threads I'm fairly new on here so still unsure how it all works lol she wasn't pregnant last time we had it confirmed by vets I will just see how she goes I can't get her spayed till the end of the month so sure we will know either way by then :)

Can you feel/ see any of the babies move? Is she trying to nest anywhere?
