Worried owner........please help

Sassy came in heat o Jan 26th I bred her with my mommas cat Sam. They were together for 10 days. Sam did manage to get Sassy a couple times. Sassy showed signs of being pregnant. Now I'm not sure. Does anyone have any advice. Thanks in advance. Tammy

Is her nipples pink or red? Does she look round? Can you post photos? Is there any changes in behavior? Like more affectionate?

It won't let me upload a photo....and they look pink...she's has been nesting all week....and her behavior hasn't really changed much...I can't leave the room without her crying for me

What day did sam got her? She sounds pregnant, is the crying normal for her?

Finally please do consider getting your cat spayed. It is really not healthy or practical to mate cats unless you are a registered breeder.

No she just started crying like that about a week now

Also as a general rule of thumb, if a cat mated while in heat, yes, she is pregnant. You could always consult with a vet to be sure or if you have any concerns though

I have been through everything on this site and I'm still confused... They say they are only in heat for 10 days and pregnant up to 67 days

And Sassy is a very clean cat so I can't even see if she has a discharge...I can't even pet her without her cleaning my hand the herself where I touched her

Can you pleased clarify what exactly you are confused about? Just whether she's pregnant? One sure way to find out would be to take her for a vet check up. Otherwise, the questions mwallace already asked are good guideposts. Is she larger than normal? Are her nipples pink and big? Can you see or feel babies moving? Why did you think she was pregnant and now what made you unsure?

A pregnancy may last a bit longer than 67 days without issue but if you think it has gone on much more than 70 you should also consult a vet to be sure things are okay.

Yes she is bigger....her nipples are pink (not big)....she is a very aggressive cat and plays rough even now.....is that normal....I wud take her to the vet but I just lost my job an no funds coming in now

It is highly likely she is pregnant. Her behaviour could be normal, yes... Cats basic personality often doesn't change much during pregnancy.

Here is another one of Sassy laying on her back....

Update.....I had to move her box to my closet cuz she was crying very loud and wouldn't quit scratching on the door......I just now got her calm to were she is laying in her bed now.....I haven't found any drainage yet....but just like I said she is a very very very clean cat......how much longer should I wait before I call the vet she is about 63 days.....give or take a few....

Giving or taking a few days, means you dont really have a clue...  So no real point to worry and call on the vet "because its becoming late"

Anyways, cats seems to manage a little too long pregnancy better than humans.  While the kittens manage badly to be delivered too early, again unlike humans and human babies.

So, if you do have a friendly, knowleable vet, consult him if you so want, but dont let him induce labor or make a cesarean without a really good cause - like moms life is in immediate danger.

Because, with humans, if in doubt, they do cesarean as a matter of fact.  While with cats, it saves the mom all right, but  if it is premature, its the doom for the kittens.

So, be observant, but take it easy, and wait calmly.   Remember also, your being anxious, goes onto your cat.   Up with your nose, as they say, and keep your lips stiff!   

Good luck!

Stefanz I do know she came in heat on Jan 26 and ended on the 5 of feb....... So with that being said from Feb 5 to April 5 was 60 days.....so just like I said give or take a few

I think everything you have described your cat doing is pretty normal behavior for pregnant cats...pictures definitely look pregnant to me.  Since everything so far is normal and your cat is not in any obvious distress I'm afraid you have no other recourse other than to wait and see.  Wouldn't worry until after day 70 or so.

Thank you dandila .......after 70 day then should i take her to the vet?
