I thought I noticed my Chi's nipples being very noticeable around June 22nd, and my boyfriend saw her a week later and said he thought she was pregnant too. Her attitude changed and she's become more clingy and affectionate. Her tummy became noticeably more hard. She went from being a 4.5lb cat (I know, she's fairly small, even though she's a fully-grown adult) to weighing 6.6lbs.
Within the last two weeks, she has started leaking from her nipples and spends most of her time in various boxes I've placed in quiet places throughout the house. I notice that her tummy is much larger than usual but other people who see her can't believe she's very pregnant because she looks so normal (aside from needing constant affection from anyone who walks through the door, particularly wanting her tummy rubbed, which she never liked before).
She doesn't act sick and still eats fine, plays with my other cat and two kittens, bathes normally, and has normal bowel movements, but at this point I estimate she's closing in on eleven weeks pregnant. Could it be an eleven week false pregnancy? Or could she have started showing her nipples earlier than 3 weeks?
If she acted anything but normal I'd take her in to the vet, worrying the kittens died inside her, but she seems totally fine. I've thought I would check what people who have been through a cat pregnancy first think before coughing up that huge sum to get her checked out again. (I just took her and two kittens I found outside in to be treated for fleas and ear mites, plus getting my boy kitty neutered and given the same treatment.)
Hope you have some advice or thoughts!
Thanks a ton!
