could my cat be pregnant?

[nikolew16]

I have a 5 month old kitten who got let outside by a family member and now i wonder if she may be pregnant she’s eating way more and getting chunky but i don’t know if it’s because of growing kitten and her being fluffy or possible pregnancy she’s also sleeping a lot more i can’t get pictures of her nipples because she’s extra fluffy in the belly and doesn’t wanna sit still but i think they’ve gotten bigger and they’re a pale famished pink color pictures attached to see stomach

Poor cat. This is the equivilant of a 12 year old girl getting pregnant. If she got out chances are high she is prgnant. And extremly high for complications. She also has a good chance of miscarrage.

If it was my cat I would have her spayed and soon.

If you did decide to let her go to term, make sure you have the vet on speed dial and have bottles and heating pads at the ready, she will need help if she doesn't outright reject baby.

yes i feel so bad as i’ve tried so hard to avoid this until her spay appointment 🥹 i’m going to watch her some more and if i get any more signs she’s definitely pregnant i’ll consider a spay and abort

I suggest that you do not wait. Go ahead and get her checked by a vet right away for pregnancy. If confirmed, get the spay/terminate immediately. Waiting will not solve anything. She’s much too young to have kittens at 5 months old, and from your description, she sounds pregnant.

I agree with all the others. It seems she is preg, and if you have any possibility to let her be spay abort, do so at once...

Every day of waiting makes the surgery more difficult and more exhausting on both her and the surgeon...

Even if an experienced vet surgeon is fully able to make the surgery even very late, but its no ideal situation for no one...

Do it NOW, or at least, as soon you can arrange things.

And IF we take wrong, and she is just a fatty and lazy teenager? spaying makes her no harm, and makes it possible to be let outside...
So, just do it.

I agree with all the above. Her being so young is absolutely horrible im sorry this happened to this little angel.... I would make an appointment with the vet asap for spay/abort. You want to make sure your kitten is safe and healthy.

N nikolew16 please don't wait she needs to be seen before any more signs are there. Her sides poking out that much, her nipples pinking are enough of a sign .. please don't wait if she definitely is and you wait it is more chance for complications..

Please keep us posted
