Looks almost so.  If unspayed, and had possiblilites to mating, count on it.   Do you know when?   And when the teats got visibly more red?

How old is this kitty? It certainly sounds like she's pregnant.

She looks very early along in her pregnancy. You may want to have her spayed instead, and the pregnancy ended. This labor and delivery will be hard on her body, and quite possibly dangerous.

Let us know if you'd like help finding a low cost clinic.

If not, mom should start eating as much dry and wet kitten food as she wants now.

A 6-month-old kitten should not be having kittens. She's too young.

Are your male cats neutered? Are they from the same litter as your female kitten?

You should consider getting your male cats neutered now. Your female can get pregnant again within a week of delivery and, as we've mentioned, this is very hard on her body.

Cats cannot have cow milk. They can have kitten milk replacer. If you are looking to give her a nutrition supplement, that would help. Kitten food, as mentioned above, would also help.

Cats cannot have cow milk.  They cannot digest lactose and it will likely upset her stomach.  Goat milk is ok.  Please get goat milk or kitten milk replacer - an upset stomach is really not what you want to add to the mix here.

A lot of cheese doesn't have lactose in it because of the aging process.  

What kind of kitten milk are you trying?  Goat milk would be a great alternative.  Both will work for the kittens as well.  Mom and babies will all really need the nutrients, which cow milk doesn't have.

Your cat may be experiencing morning sickness from her pregnancy. It will pass eventually, but she needs to eat.

Please offer her wet food and dry kitten chow. She can also have plain, boiled chicken. She should not drink cow's milk. When she gets past feeling sick, she will eat quite a lot of food.
