Can you guys help me pinpoint how far along my girl is?
I am unsure of her last heat because she is a very vocal cat constantly and always has been. But prior to August 18th, she was outside daily for a few hours.. since moving to our new home she has been strictly indoors only. I haven't noticed any heat cycles since we moved, she gets vocal and yowls loud sometimes and rolls around but she has always done that. She doesn't tread or grunt.
I started becoming suspicious of pregnancy as soon as we moved because I knew she had been outside a lot prior and was old enough to be having heat cycles even though I couldn't decipher when she was in one.
The first picture is a nipple on August 23rd. About 5 days after we moved.
The 2nd picture is September 7th, this would put her right around 5 weeks if the 23rd was pinking but I don't know if it is. This is the picture where it looks to be pinking. Making me think she was right around 3 weeks September 7th and possibly got pregnant right before we moved around the 15th of August which is what I have been guesstimating..
3rd picture is September 14, one week further.
More pink and enlarged?? I would think her to be 4 weeks then.
Exactly 6 weeks today is what I would assume.
Here are some other things going on.. she is very needy. She usually is but lately it is like she is a leech. She follows me everywhere right at my heels and sleeps right next to me on the couch when I am out there and if not she is on my bed.
She is very talkative of a cat already, but she walks through the house standing around howling momentarily and then walks away.
She was eating a lot about a week ago, 2 small bowls daily.. now she has been eating one bowl a day and sometimes she actually still has food in her bowl the next morning.
I have tried to palpate her belly and when she is laying on her side I can feel one good sized lump. A few days ago I felt the tiniest of little flutter kicks. No movement itself, just the pokey flutter kick. For the next 3 days I felt nothing..until tonight, stronger flutter kicks. No movement still.
She also lays weird, she is constantly flopping onto her side or straddling things. Like it is uncomfortable to lay like a normal cat lol. But heres the thing..she has not gotten any bigger. Not by much at least. She looks like a skinny petite little cat. You wouldn't even know she was pregnant by looking at her.
2 days ago she had the tiniest pooch on her side, just barely noticable when you look at her head on. She does lots of tummy cleaning but I haven't noticed any fur missing around her nipples, I don't know when that happens..but they are pink and more noticeable.
I got her a box ready because she started getting into everything. Under the coffee table, in the kitchen drawers, under the dresser...she even FELL behind my dresser last week..how she managed that, I'll never know.
Her signs are all over the place, I can't take her to a vet right now as my car is out of commission and my boyfriend works until 10pm nightly.
Some signs make her seem 6 weeks, some seem 8. But her size tells me a different story..but I have heard when they are small cats with one baby, sometimes they don't look any bigger. She also has a VERY soft squishy belly. When she is on her back I can't feel anything. When she is on her side, I feel the lump. And if I palpate when she is standing walking, her belly is firm in places..but she doesn't let me often.
What's your guy's take on this?
How long do you think she has?
Anyone experience cat pregnancy without much weight gain or show?
Sometimes she let's me rest my hand on her belly..other times she attacks it and bites and scratches me if I even try lol. But there are times I have had my hand on her 10min or more and felt no movement or kicking. Sometimes I feel kicks. And ear to belly I hear gurgling.
Today i found her in the nesting box I made. Ignore the empty dish as I just filled it..but shes. I walked from her she didn't follow as she normally does..she just stayed there. 10min later she moved to my bed and is resting there peacefully.
This is so confusing!

and yes she will be spayed after. I had originally wanted one planned litter before her spay with health checks and doing it all properly.. but she seemed to have other plans.
