I have 4 cats. 2 boys and 2 girls and neither of them are fixed currently. 3 of the 4 are siblings and the 4th one is my oldest at about a year and a half old. The last cycle I tracked for her was roughly around the end of September to the beginning of October. At first she didn't want to eat for a while and she's eating more now. She's super fluffy and I checked her nipples and they look different than before (at first they were small and tiny but now theyre a little elongated, pink, and roundish) and now her belly is round wide and kinda firm. My original 2 theories are she likes the food we got them or she's pregnant. Here's a recent picture I have of her for reference but I don't have any nipple pictures or a view of her belly. I'll also add she's sleeping a lot which does concern me if she's not pregnant.

Since you have 2 intact males, it is almost a sure bet that your cat is pregnant from your description of her nipples, belly, and behavior. If her last heat cycle was early October, she is likely due in the next couple of weeks. Prepare for kittens!

In the meantime, can you get your male cats neutered? It will prevent future pregnancies (though your females need spaying eventually), and the boys will not develop spraying and other aggressive male cat tendencies.

Please do keep us posted!

Here's a better picture of how she generally sleeps plus the size of her belly and fluff

She has 3 kittens. Colors are orange, calico, and cream and all of them both mom and babies are doing very well. All are eating, drinking plenty of water, bonding, and nursing. I'm so proud of her and occasionally she would come to me for some scratches or look at me from the box and ask for scratches 🥰
