Hello! I wanna start this off saying that this may be long so bare with me. Also, I have never owned a cat until recently. I rescued one and this so you can understand my confusion. My cat Queen (she's my profile picture) was born somewhere in July, but where she is a rescue, we don't know her birthday for sure (We decided to give her the birthday of July 25th!). Anyways, my mother has a kitty litter of four - two are male, two are female.. My moms kitties are now about six months old now, but none of our cats are neutered/spayed. I was told cats don't go into heat until six months of age, and when I brought Queen over, the kitties were almost six months. They were humping each other but my mom said it was dominance. I can't take her to the vet because my mothers cat got sick and I've already paid to take him and I don't have enough cash to take her. I'll start from when I noticed Queen's odd behavior.
I know it may have seemed too much to add that the boy cats humped each other but Queen went into heat around September 10th when I left the building. When I woke the next morning she was no longer in heat. In fact, on the 12th, she started to make a nest in our corner cabinet. My mom closed the door so Queen made a nest out of my old clothes in the off bedroom that no one really enters (plus it's SUPER warm in there). About three days after this she went into heat again for less than two days and then stayed on top of the freezer. She started acting weird and meowing at everyone for affection but refused to get down. She wasn't stuck because she would get down when she really wanted my attention! She never stopped meowing at this time either. I mean that literally. Any time she even saw me she would meow and to me it was as if she was super excited to see me. After a few days she went back to my box of clothes.
After this we noticed her nipples would change from a dark pink to a regular pink. Not only that but the fur on her stomach, mostly near her nipples, have began to deplete. They also were very prominent at this time and seemed bigger than the other cats. It was the first think I noticed on her. Then she started laying around in the box and not moving a lot. I got worried that she wasn't eating enough so I put food on the window sill for her to get. She still gets down to get the food and water, but I don't see her do it very often. Her stomach is very hard now as well, but sometimes it feels less hard than before.
A few days ago we noticed two piles of vomit too. I don't know if it was her or not, but she is the largest cat in this building and the puke was fairly large. She does not like me touching her tum so I won't be doing that again. Today, she has difficulties jumping on things. She jumped on the counter but didn't make it all the way and scratched for dear life, then tried to get in her box but she kept bending her knees instead of jumping. I had to put her in a small box like an elevator to help her up to her box. She still gets on high places for me to pet her but again she has some difficulties. Her voice has become rasp when she does meow and she's beginning to move around for attention.
I was told she could be pregnant, but she doesn't take on a pear shape ( I was told pregnant cats do). I mean, she did at one point but now she looks more like a figure 8 with a butt. I did notice her belly kind of sags at the bottom.

I'm sorry it is under these circumstances.
