How can you tell when a cat is pregnant?

Question

I need to know for sure, and I can't go to a Vet, but she's gotten very fat in a pregnant way recently and was hanging out with male cats a little while ago. She's also acting angry with her 4-month old kittens for no reason... she gets mad when they sit with her and growls at them for no reason. Thank you!!!

Answer 1

well if you dont have her fixed she will bleed in the carpet or floor

Answer 2

check her nipples, if she is pregnant, they will be very very pink, you will notice this even before she starts to show

Answer 3

Ok first off did she gain weight or is she pregnat? Very simple way to tell, if she is just putting on weight her whole body will get larger i.e., neck lergs hips, stomach etc.

Now, if she is pregnant the her nipples will turn pink by week 3 of pregnancy, by week 4-5 of pregnancy she will start showing in tummy area. And eat more, possibly be more loving, unless she is a ferral cat. By week 6-7 she will start snooping in closets and areas to look for a suitable place to have kittens, you should also be able to see and feel kittens moving around in her abdomen. By end of week 7 her nipples will be significantly large with white tips due to dry milk, she will sleep more, be less interactive with her food, and could be edgy. This means she is very close to delivery.

AS far as responding to her kittens in the manner she has been. She could be trying to let them know its time to make room for new babies. Good luck!

Answer 4

Dude, why is she not spayed? If she was in heat and hanging around intact males, she's probably pregnant. Common sense. Better hope there are no complications since you can't get her in to the vet. Actually, I'd get her in to the vet for an emergency spay/abort.
