I just caught this cat I've been feeding for two months. Long story short, is there a way to tell if there's kittens somewhere???
I can't handle him/her yet. I don't see any sign of lactation, but then again I can't see her belly because she's medium haired. Tonight was a big surprise as after doing nothing but eating and running away, tonight she/he stayed on my deck and meowed at me for a good 3 minutes. Then instead of taking off went under the deck. I grabbed a flashlight and shined it under there so I could see the cat and we continued with the meowing. Then I managed to trap the cat and bring it inside. If it was a girl and had kittens would it be flipping out right now? So far we've gotten purrs and rubbing against my hands when I hold them against the walls of the playpen. No more meowing though. Or maybe she's in heat? Any ideas. Help!
Update: Stray cat not paying any attention to cleaning their genitals, so good sign I'm assuming that kittens are not on the way. Also belly is not at all hanging down.
