Hello fellow cat lovers 
Our Cat, MoMo, escaped near Christmas time and hadnāt been fixed yet. She was gone 3-4 days and in thought she was a goner for sure. We got notice that a neighbor had found her on Christmas Eve. (Best gift ever!) I didnāt think that she could be pregnant because I hadnāt noticed any symptomsā¦.. until a couple weeks ago. I feel like Iām getting kinda mixed signals with her symptoms. Her mammary tissue is slightly enlarged. It feels almost linear along her nipple line. The ones near her rear are the largest and have the largest balding area. The ones closest to her head are the smallest, but they produce a milky discharge when pinched. The nipples are definitely not at large as Iāve seen in some of the photos on this website, nor have they changed much since I first noticed. She had one extremely obvious heat cycle and I donāt know that sheās had another. She is also losing hair around her vulva and had a very small amount of clear-ish discharge today. We have dogs and MoMo has been more territorial about them being close to going under the bed. (Iāve looked - no kittens or nest.) She really seemed to have that āburroā shape, but doesnāt as much anymore. Her abdomen is supple. I wouldnāt call it super firm or super soft. One day I couldāve sworn I felt a kitten move and now Iām second guessing if sheās pregnant at all. I know the best advice is going to the vet. Iād like to avoid that unless I feel as though she is ill so that I have extra funds on hand for when the kittens may or may not be born. Pics of our cute MoMo from today.

How you get cat pee on a test strip is beyond me. But I think itās sorta fun to wait and see what happens, sorta like Jiffy Pop! 
Her mammaries seem bigger than yesterday too. Her lady bits seem enlarged and look like there's some discharge happening. Alas, no kittens yet. Her belly feels firm but I can't palpate any definitive form or feel movement. It's all very perplexing for this newbie.
