We've taken in a stray at the moment (still looking for her humans, but no luck so far), and I'm pretty sure she's pregnant: she's getting heavier and bigger in the middle, and I think I felt fluttery kicks last night (on both sides of her body).
She was to the vet when we found her (she was sick, and of course to check for a microchip), and the vet found no signs of pregnacy at the time, but said given her age (about 9 or 10 months) that she was due to come into heat (and thus could be preggers).
So, I'm guessing she's probably about five weeks along? If that seems off please let me know!
What I'm really curious about though is roughly how many kittens should we be expecting? I know litter sizes vary, but I don't know if there's an average number, like "most new mothers have four kittens" or whatever.
If it makes any difference, she's still quite small though I think she'll get a bit bigger, and she's an orange and white tabby. No idea who the oblivious papa might be.
ETA - By get a bit bigger, I mean, I think she's still growing, as her paws seem larger than they would be if she was done growing.
