Think my cat isn't pregnant but not sure how far

Hi everyone I'm new to this but I need help I already have 2 cats a boy and girl and both have been done so please don't judge me. I took in a cat a few weeks back off a lady who wasn't treating it right but I think she is pregnant since having her I have noticed her belly gettin bigger her nipples are quite pink but they are not swollen or nothing. She is sleeping a lot but she lies on her belly and I thought pregnant cats lie on there sides I will upload picture of her soon can anyone give me some advice?

Thank you for taking her in and giving her a nice home! [emoji]128522[/emoji]

She does sound pregnant, and you should prepare for kittens. Feed mom as much wet and dry food as she wants to support the pregnancy.

Here are some articles to help you:

Thank you for reply I'm pretty sure she is pregnant but again her nipple don't seem swollen just pink is this normal? Also the poor little thing is only 8 1/2 months old is that going to cause her any problems as I've read that she could struggle? X

It's sad that she is pregnant so young. It can be hard on kittens to have kittens, but hopefully she will manage okay. Most do, though it is far from ideal. An excellent diet will help her.

Nipples are pink, but the mammaries do not usually fill with milk until just before or just after delivery, so that should not be an issue.

It is sad that she is pregnant so young I will be getting her fixed when she has had them. I'm just concerned as I don't no how far she actually is

Mom can be spayed when the kittens are 8 weeks old.

Have you seen or felt kitten movement yet? Once you do, there is usually 2-3 weeks of pregnancy left.

Can you please post a picture of her so I can see the size of her tummy?

This is her can you tell me if you can see pics if not will try agen x

What do you think? I think I felt kittens the other day but she doesn't really like me touching her belly but she is very affectionate and sleeps on my shoulder all the time

She's so cute with the bow around her mouth! [emoji]128571[/emoji]

Definitely pregnant! For now, just assume at least 2 more weeks. She's fluffy so it will be harder to spot kitten movement. Hang in there! [emoji]128522[/emoji]

She is very fluffy so i don't see much at all she's a little cutie! So you would say She maybe has around 2 weeks left? I have tried putting the bottom of a cat carrier in a big cupboard I have but she just won't go into it

She won't go into a nest until time to deliver.

Ok that's fine I'll just keep and eye on her and see how we go thanks

HI sarthur2 just wanted abit of advice about my little girl, After her not letting me touch her belly over the last few weeks she has eventually let me have a feel (very gently) and I can feel lumps in her stomach but no movements? and over the last 2 days her back nipples closer to the tail have started to sag to a point I can feel it (can't see as she is very very fluffy) also I seen some mucus on my floor 3 days ago that I can only describe as looking like snot I not sure if it's from her or not, but she shows no signs I'm soooo confused with her lol please help

Sounds like she's nearing labour to me, and that she has just lost her mucus plug. Could be wrong, but my aunt breeds orientals and have been around for many of the births. Normally a loss of mucus plug means labour could start tonight. Has she been nesting at all?

no nesting really just very sleepy and sleeps on my shoulder all the time, the mucus was bout 3 days ago is this normal?

Can you take her temperature?

No I don't have have a thermomiter at present

OK. Is it like a green kind of colour? One of my aunts cats used to get a green mucus a few days before birth. Apparently it's not very common but it could be that. Watch out for a high temperature, as one could have died inside her and has caused an infection. It's probably not that, but just keep an eye on her. Get a thermometer and take her temperature when you can.

Ok I will get a thermometer tomorrow and it was a like a browny colour aswell literally like thick snot lol sorry to sound crude! She is usually a outside cat and she is desperately trying to get out

She's lost her plug!! Do NOT let her out, she is probably in early labour...
Keep me updated, and let me know how it goes.
