Is my ragdoll pinking up?

[Maleficent23]

Hi
My girl was mated 14th-17th jan.
She has been showing signs of heat but no vocalizing or calling.
Just wondering what everyone thinks? Could she be pregnant?
Thanks

Hi!
I can't really tell, but there might be something here that helps if you haven't seen them;

It’s possible since you know when she mated. Cats begin to show around the end of the fifth week. You’ll know more soon!

Those nipples don't look pink to me, however not all cats "pink up." The best way to know for sure at this stage is to do an ultrasound.

Thankyou for your replies, im just going to keep an eye over the nexcouple of weeks, hard to tell with cats i know; but does anyone else think she looks slightly bigger?

 

[lutece]

At this stage, you wouldn't expect to see her looking much bigger in the belly yet. If you are breeding her on purpose, do you have a mentor you are working with? Perhaps the breeder of your girl, or the owner of the stud male that you used?

Yes, the lady i got her drom said she cant see any significant changes ib her tummy so just have to wait and see

Hi
Is it possible for a cat to be in heat but not call? I thought my girl was in heat rather than pregnant but she hasn't been vocalizing at all, her previous owner said she was very vocal during her last heat so now I'm wondering can acat be in heat but not call?
Thanks in advance

It is possible for a cat to have a silent heat with no obvious signs.

 

[Sarthur2]

Has she been around intact males to get pregnant? Do you plan to spay her?

 

[Maleficent23]

Hi yes, she was mated 14th-17th January but I thought she was showing signs of heat but I'm not sure as she wasn't calling or calizing in any way, just being overly affectionate and a lot of rolling around and chin rubbing

 

[Sarthur2]

Then she is likely pregnant.

 

[Maleficent23]

Do you think? Maybe I made the mistake of thinking her affection and chin rubbing was heat, she would be approx 4 weeks by now however her nipples still look fairly pale

 

[Sarthur2]

You’ll know soon as cats are more affectionate when pregnant, and they usually begin to show after about 5 weeks. Plus, she would most likely not go into heat again while pregnant.

 

[Maleficent23]

Do you know if a pregnant cats stomach feel like a squidgy balloon? Her sides feel slightly swelled to me and her underneath feels the same but almost like its lower.

The best way to diagnose pregnancy at this stage would be with an ultrasound. Without a definite pregnancy diagnosis via ultrasound, you don't know for sure right now. She might be pregnant, or she might be experiencing a false pregnancy, or she might be behaving that way because she is coming into heat again. Have you spoken with your breeding mentor(s)?

Hi everyone, took my ragdoll to the vets he said he cant feel any feotus uoon palpation but said it could be they are too small to feel or if shes only having one or two could be more difficult. She was mated 14-17th jan. Do her nipples look like a pregnant cats. Either way a waiting game now

 

[Sarthur2]

Yes, it’s likely she is pregnant, but time will tell!

 

[lutece]

From looking at her nipples I would guess that she is not pregnant. However, some cats do not pink up. The only way to know for sure at this stage is an ultrasound.
