If she is not spayed and lives with an unneutered male, or goes outside, then she is most likely pregnant.

Is Dolly the same cat that you thought was pregnant back in April? If so, did she have kittens then?

Do you know when she mated? Cats usually deliver around 2-3 weeks after you can feel the kittens move. If you are asking for an exact date, no one can tell you.

Please consider getting her spayed when her kittens are 8 weeks old and weaned. You should not let her outside or around any intact males until then.

It could be another week or sooner.


As she gets closer you will see the mucus plug (or not), her water breaking, could be a slow leak or a gush.  She will 'drop', where she will look thinner and the kittens will move into the birth canal.  She will become more affectionate and will want belly rubs.   Some cats will have pre-contractions or go straight to contractions.  You will see her belly tighten and release and she will breathe harder.  Sometimes when the contractions begin she will put her tail in the air like she is in heat.  She may lose her appetite and have the runs as her body prepares to give birth.

Every cat is different so there is no exact time frame. Depending on your cat you may not witness all the signs.  She will go into her nest at the last minute or where ever she has chosen to have her kittens.

Many cats do not want their bellies touched when they are pregnant.

You're not reporting any signs that she's in labor or approaching labor so far. You'll know when she's close!

Find something to occupy your thoughts.  You driving yourself crazy LOL.  try the Cat Lounge forum

It's a waiting game unless your cat is in distress.  You could take her to a vet for an x-ray but even that won't tell you when she will have them, just how many she'll have.

I think so.  Perhaps not the most average, but normal.  I would guess there is milk now, even much milk.  are the other teats looking similiar?   If so surely entirely normal.

Probably milk leaking. If they seem dry, apply some olive or vegetable oil so they don't get chapped.
