Yes, it should be about it. She got preg during the first week with this stud, and now 3 weeks after the conception they got rosey pink.   :)

So its planned?  Let me congrat to the happy pair and their proud parents!

Are you a breeder?   If so,   What breed is it?     Or you had "just"  a nice home girl, and want to take a litter before you spay her?

I think so. But if you being there see the differance now and a week ago, so be it.

I mean, this raspberry / hindberry (I never remember which) rosy is classical, but not all cas get exactly the same nuances.  Some get it barely at all.

Most flea treatments are not save for pregnant cats. I hope you discussed well with your vet and bought an appropriate flea treatment product before you treated her.

It does seem like it's a little irritated. This could come from a lot of things. As it's on the top of her leg, it's possible she's been active a lot and that the skin friction got rid of the fur. You should also check whether she's biting or scratching it. If so, it's itchy and probably something else. You can also get bald spots from food allergies. I would suggest calling your vet about it (also about the flea treatment you gave her if you didn't yet) and keep a good eye on her. If it seems to feel different than usual skin (Lumpy or hard underneath the skin), seems like it's bothering her (painful, itchy), take her to the vet just incase. In most cases they'll give you some ointment to stop the skin irritation and to heal it a bit. Also keep an eye on her temperature, if it's some kind of inflammation, you'll see it in her temperature.

Never leave a breeding female with a stud for more than three days. Two days is optimal. Only breed her when she comes in season. If you leave the female with the male stud for too long, fertilization of kittens could range anywhere between one to seven days apart.  This type of breeding produces many rants in a litter.

The only safe treatment of flees for a pregnant female cat is "food grade diatomaceous earth". Anything else is dangerous.

If you're cat is pregnant, and she surely looks like she is....You need to tell your vet that she might be pregnant, she will know once your cat is examined. In any case, any flee treatment is toxic to a pregnant cat.
