Something On My Kitten

[sarahentschel]

So recently I got a kitten about 2 months ago, and when I got her she had some type of thing on her skin. She also escaped for about 12 hours one day and I don’t know if these things are ticks/fleas or just something I shouldn’t worry about.

Is that her stomach? If so, it's a nipple.

How old is she? I would guess that she is pregnant.

Has she been spayed? If not, as long as she’s 4 months of age or older, she is very likely pregnant, especially since she escaped for a while, that would give her plenty of time to meet an unneutered male.

Hi guys. Thanks for the replies. It is on her stomach but before that i’ve found the same thing on her back. I’m taking her to the vet this week. How do I know for sure if she is pregnant or not? Thanks again.

I think she probably is pregnant, as long as she’s at least four months old and hasn’t been spayed. Your vet will be able to give you a for sure answer.

How old is your cat?

You may want to have her spayed now if she is very young.

4 months old, I was supposed to get her spayed tomorrow until the whole supposed pregnancy thing came up.

Pregnancies can be aborted early on. I would suggest that. It’s sad but there are way to many homeless cats dying on the streets and in shelters for her to be having a litter.
The little nub you took a photo of is a nipple. What you found on her back is something else most likely.
I would get her to a vet ASAP and see if they’ll still spay her.

Oh dear. Please consider letting her have the spay anyway. 4-month-old kittens should really not be having babies. She’s so young.

See what the vet says.

Hi everybody!!! I got her spayed today. Everything is great, thank you so much for your help! I was going to spay her regardless, just wanted to make sure it was safe. I don’t want her to be a 6 month old mother when she would’ve given birth lol.

Good for you!

Also, is this normal? They had to shave her down and her nipples are showing, just wanna make sure!

The vet shaved a lot more of her than I would normally expect, but yes it is totally normal to shave a spay site. Helps to keep it clean and heal properly
