Could my cat be pregnant?

[Klou16x]

Hi,
I’m looking for some advice regarding my cat.
I have noticed she put a little bit a weight on around her tummy! I’m not sure if it’s just because she still growing, as she is nearly one years old or if she is pregnant.
I have been looking online and I’ve seen that the nipples of pregnant cats become pink.
I have attached photos and was wondering if anyone could give me their opinion please.

If she has been outside at all she is most likely pregnant. 63-70 days from that date she will deliver. Cats are notorious breeders, there are almost no 'unfertile cats'!They can get pregnant as young as 4-5 months. All the best!

She goes out every night. I don’t have any idea how many days pregnant she would be.
I have to move the fur to see the nipples but I’m just wondering if they do look enlarged?

 

[Sarthur2]

Yes, they look like pregnant nipples. Please get her spayed after this litter and keep her indoors in the meantime so that she is safe and does not give birth outside.

 

[di and bob]

Yeav, they do. I cant hardly find them at all on my spayed fenale.....

Still unsure if my cat is pregnant… you can only see her nipples when you pick her up.. if she is pregnant how many weeks roughly would she be? She goes out a lot so unsure

 

[di and bob]

I would say less than half way, first litters are usually small, but their middles start thickening about half way through. So if the pregnancy lasts the usual 63 days I would say she is a little over three weeks. You might start her on kitten food to give her the extra calories and nutrition she needs. she will definitely need kitten food while she is nursing. That takes a lot from the mother.

I’ve been seeing little waves in her tummy and I actually felt a kitten move. How much longer may she have? We don’t know the exact date she got pregnant

 

[Sarthur2]

It still may be 2-3 more weeks.

I was wondering if anyone could help me. I’m unsure when my cat is due but I have just noticed this.

That is the most probable, esp if you think the end is near.
Mucus plug in theory comes out hours before delivery, but in practice may come even two weeks before...

 

[Klou16x]

This is her now.. not sure how much longer!

How is everything going? Did she have her kittens yet?

 

[Klou16x]

Not yet.. I can see the kittens moving around.. she still loves her food and there no signs of nesting

 

[Klou16x]

My girl just gave birth to a kitten but placenta still attached… what should I do?

 

[Sarthur2]

If she still has not bitten it off, gently pinch it closed and off about an inch from the naval and dispose of the placenta.

She eating the placenta right now.. Ia there a chance of another kitten? As it’s been nearly an hour

 

[Klou16x]

If I leave the room she gets up and meows

 

[Sarthur2]

Stay with her as much as you can. She is clearly feeling needy and needs comfort. Kitten deliveries can be hours or even days apart. From your descriptions, it sounds like she has more kittens and will birth them as her body dictates.

She eaten the placenta… she keeps doing pushing noises but isn’t meowing or seems in pain.

she just lay feeding her little one.
