Hi, I'm not a new cat owner but I've never had a female before! We got two brothers from the RSPCA at 11 weeks (they said) and we've now had them for 4 months. Turns out one is a girl!! She's lovely if a bit standoffish but recently she's been acting very affectionate.
We had the male neutered about a month ago, and they get along really well still, but I'm worried the female might be pregnant. We don't have enough money to get her spayed yet (I just got laid off) so we're keeping them inside for now, since they've always been indoor cats, but I recently learned that neutered toms can still father kittens up to 6 weeks after. He was only 4-5 months when we got him done, but I'm still worried.
She's a little firm around the belly but nothing unusual really. They're wormed regularly. She's a little off her food occasionally now and we caught her dry heaving and then eating again yesterday. Her nipples are visible when the stretches and a little bald around them but I can't remember if they ever looked different. She also yowls a lot, especially when alone in a room, and it kinda sounds like heat yowling but she's not exhibited any other signs so far. Sometimes she yowls in the litter now idk why ??
I'm just worried; she's so young and slight, I hope she's okay. Im not sure of the signs. I'll try get a few photos later cos she's running around like crazy right now !
