Hello there, My Cat is pregnant from my indoor tomcat, they both are only indoor but actually i don't know that when they got mated. Now she has big belly and her nipples are pink and have got bigger.Her nipples are still big and pink but i didn't saw milk on it. Please can anyone tell an estimate about how much time is left because our family is waiting much for this and it is her first birth. Here are the pics.

The pregnancy is usually about 65  days.   If you dont know when the mating were, there are two  points from where you can get a count:

When the nipples got strong rosy (raspberry rosy they often say).  This occurs about the day 21.

When you feel the kittens move.  This occurs about 2 weeks before the expecteed delivery - somewhat earlier if you are good at palpitation, but max 3 weeks.  the last day before the delivery, you dont feel them as clearly, ss they go down into the birthing postions, and she drops...

So usually its just to join into the waiting game!   Use the time to prepare as well as you can, observe and wait patiently.

Here are some links.

But please come with reports and further questions!

Good luck!

You can not tell by size when delivery will occur. Size depends on the momma cat build and how many kittens she is carrying. The best thing since you don't know when the breeding took place is to watch her for behavior changes, or the best option is to take her for an ultrasound. The vet should be able to give you an approximate idea.

Did he just palpatate or did he do an ultrasound? No test is 100%. You need a vet experienced with ultrasound, usually the ones who have ultrasound equipment can read them. Without knowing when the breeding actually took place it is an educated guess - and even knowing the exact breeding date, it can still vary depending on the cat.
