So, my roommates brother recently moved and needed a place for his 2 cats to stay for an estimated 2 months.
Everything is great and they are loved and welcome staying at our place, but one of them I am very convinced is pregnant.
When they first arrived, I noticed Phoenix’s nipples showing, which I thought was weird. Over the past 5 weeks, her nipples/teats have grown significantly to the point where it is undeniably unusual.
I have also been monitoring behavior and food intake and generally it does seem in line with a pregnant cat. She’s gotten less active/playful and grown a prominent belly. But she’s a little chunky so its hard to tell.
My question is primarily, is there any other reason a cats nipples/teats would grow like this??? Is there a sickness I should be concerned about that might cause something like this? And could it spread?
I know she needs a vet but I can’t afford it and the owners/other people involved don’t think she needs it. I’ve built her a whole den and planned as if she is pregnant so at this point I’m just wondering about the possibility that she isn’t, and then it turns out she has some illness.
And I’ll post some pictures
