Hi! I'm new here
I'm not sure if my cat is pregnant the only real signs are her big belly and rosy nipples
Only problem I got is if she is pregnant and she has a miscarriage because kids have played with her roughly

P.S I got her at a pet store thought she was spayed

She sounds pregnant to me. Doubtful she's had a miscarriage. Cat pregnancy lasts about 65 days. How long have you had her & does she go outside?

You'll want to read up on some of our articles on cat pregnancy and kitten care. You also might want to talk to the pet store about why you were told she was spayed when she's not.

And thanks so much for your help

Is she being exposed to kids who treat her roughly in your home? That's definitely a concern for when the kittens are born.

Well, she clearly was not spayed. See that she's getting as much kitten chow and wet cat food as she wants now, and do not let the kids play rough with her anymore.

You'll need to make a nest for her, preferably in a quiet place like a closet in your bedroom, and show it to her. Ask us any questions you need to, and do not let the kids play with the kittens when they are born.

What are some stuff I should not do with her now? And how do I tell how far she is?

She does not need to be handled roughly. She can play with interactive toys though, like a bird on a string attached to a stick.

She needs as much kitten chow and wet food as she can eat.

It's hard to know when she is due if you have no idea when she mated. Once you can see kitten movements in her belly she has 2-3 weeks left to go.

I'm not sure if I feel kicking because when she exhale's there is something like a little kick on the side of her belly but you have to concentrate to notice it
