So, let's start off with how this happened. We ended up getting this girl from a cat horder that we used to live with. She passed her off to us when we decided to move out because she knew how attached the cat was to us. We thought as she was almost two at the time that she had been spayed, especially since she had a litter when she was really young making her growth stunted. Imagine my surprise a couple of days ago, when I see she has some very pink nipples and what looks like a softball below her stomach.
We have two boys in the house, both neutered, and from what I'm reading I know we'll have to separate them soon.
What happened was as we were moving into our new place (November 15th). All the cats escaped due to a door not closing properly. We thought very little of it and tried to get them all back in a s fast as possible. We got the boys in pretty quick and then she was hiding under the trailer refusing to come out.
We put canned food out to try and lure her and got her in about 6 to 7 hours after the escape and didn't think anything of it. Just to be clear, once the litter is born we plan to have her spayed ASAP.
My boyfriend says he's sure she's pregnant. Today, she's started making little chirp like sounds, exposing her belly, and wandering around the house, which from what I read means signs of heat. I haven't seen her do it before, but her nipples are really pink and starting to hang low, she is licking herself down there a lot, and she is bowing out at her sides.
He's going to pick up some things like a box. We already had kitten formula as we had to feed it to her one time when she was sick. We have syringe and a bottle to feed the babies just in case.
I'm more looking for advice as this is my first pregnancy with a cat. Is this a real pregnancy? A false one? Is she going into labor? We plan on getting her to a vet as soon as we can to get her checked out, but knowing if I need to be focused on last minute prep. For example, sleeping in the room we want her to nest in and keeping her out of rooms. Things like that. Thank you in advance!
Also here's a cute video of the mom playing fetch with me:
