Hi I'm Lexi and my cat Jilly and on the 25th of March I noticed that her nipples started to pink up and she progressively got a little bigger the normal amount like she should in a cat pregnancy but today I got home and her breasts had also gotten bigger and become "saggy" (she is only about 8 months old and she was impregnated by her brother) so I came home today and she seemed a little skinnier like she didn't really have a big tummy anymore but her breasts were still the same and I got home from leaving on Saturday afternoon she is still getting feed regularly and I search if she possibly had a miscarriage but I never saw any blood so I'm wondering was she ever pregnant or did she have a miscarriage or is she still pregnant? I really need help I have never had a pregnant cat before. PLEASE give me a honest answer. Thank you very much please write back ASAP.

OK, the situation IS unclear, and it depends in part on how observant you are.  Ie if you noticed her nipples are rosy the 25 of March, but they could be rosy even two weeks earlier - OR if you are pretty sure they got rosy the 25th...

If the first, she may be fullgone now, and has dropped, the kittens in the birthing postitions - and yes the high pregs usually seems noticeably lesser.

If so, the delivery will come very soon,  at this moment it may be literally in hours.

Nipples gets visibly rosy typically at 3 weeks, if it was exaclty the 25, it will give  3+4=7.   And thus, either  a false pregnancy or abortion where she immediately ate up the foetuses (or hid them well).  Yeah, there will hardly be any traces, perhaps just some wet spots.

Im sending some of our links.

Please continue to report, and come with further questions if need be.

Good luck!
