Hi all! Sorry for the lengthy post, I'm not sure if I should be concerned or not.
I recently rescued a very friendly stray cat. I have no idea how old she is, or if she has had any litters previously. When I first came into contact with her was about 5 weeks before rescuing her, and she was very petite. I didn't notice her plumping up until I got her home after the 5th week, and thought that she might be pregnant. I took her to the vet the day after I brought her in, and the vet said that she was about 3 weeks pregnant (this was October 10th). Since then, she's not really changed too much. No nesting, not more affectionate, nor less affectionate (except to my boyfriend, she is hit or miss with hin), no appetite gain/loss, no noticeable weight gain/loss (however when I rescued her she was bigger than when I first came into contact), normal cleaning, her nipples have no color but they are bigger than normal, about the size of a grain of rice, and neither my parnter or I have felt ANY movement. She just hasn't changed much since the day we took her to the vet... 6 weeks ago. I'm scared that the transition and stress may have harmed the babies, but there's been no bloody discharge or stool. She also hasn't shown any sad, or in pain behavior. She's in a room separated, with only so many spots, and there's been no sign of anything. This is my first pregnant cat, and I'm lost! I've been doing as much research as possible but can't quite find an answer. Also willing to admit I just don't know what I'm looking for haha, these are the best pictures she would let me get. Thanks in advance!
