Is my cat pregnant? The cat is really only a kitten itself and has never

Jesska_Rose · 26-10-09, 23:10

started to call or anything! plz help? we have just come back from a 6 day holiday and i think that our 6 month old cat is pregnant. I have searched around to check if my thoughts are true and they seem to be except for a few things.
1. She has been overly affectionate ( has been for atleast 3 weeks before we went away )
2. She is eating and sleeping more
3. Her stomach is swollen and from what i have gathered in the past 24hrs is that its not from eating.
4. Her nipples are just the tiniest bit pink, I'm not too sure about this because my other cats just have white ones and i don't know if she had pink nipples before.
5. The other cats seem to treat her differently from before, ( we had a older cat that didnt move for any other animal especially around food but now she moves out the way whenever the other cat is around)

please help me im not sure weather she is or isnt, i would just like to know so that i can prepare for the arrival of kittens. Im not a bad owner its just that she never really started to call and we were going to get her fixed after we came back from holidays.
there is also a male cat that hangs around our house, because he belonged to the people that lived here before. She seemed really attached to him.

To me it sounds like she is, some cats are quiet while in heat while others are loud...cat's usually have their first heat cycle around 5-6 months so it is possible....has she been around an un-fixed male? you could also take her to the vet to find out for sure or just wait, "Pregnancy can be as short as 57 days or as long as 70 days, but a few days before birth the female becomes restless and searches out her chosen shelter." I would also recommend a vet check up since she is so young, just for her safety.

And don't think your a bad owner, I've had three unplanned litters because most of my cats are indoor-outdoor and they went into heat while outside so don't feel bad.

Yes you are cause you are not considering having her fixed now even though with a kitten so young, her life will be at risk from this pregnancy
You also knew this could happen
Yopu also know that 8 million cats and KITTENS are KILLED each year just for being born
You also read yahoo answers so YOU KNOW how many cats get dumped when they get older. It's on almost EVERY PAGE of the cat's section
So to answer your question, YES SHE IS PREGNANT
