Question

Answer 1

You will start to notice in a few weeks when you can feel em moving around. If you can, take her to a vet and they can tell.

Answer 2

take her to the vets and they will be able to do a scan.  

Answer 3

First off, some people are so rude!  It's nobody's fault that the cat escaped and an accident like that certainly doesn't mean that Lulu doesn't have a good home!

If you are very gentle, you should be able to feel lumps inside your cat from around now until about 6 weeks, be very careful after that though, as the further on she is, the more you risk harming her.

There is always the option of taking her to the vets for an ultrasound, but not everyone can afford that option.

I could feel that my cat had 3 kittens in there by 4 weeks pregnant, and sure enough, I now have 3 12 week old kitties wrecking my house!

Good luck!

Answer 4

My mums cat does that every year!! A vet would be able to feel them by now by poking about, probably best you don't try it yourself though!  

Answer 5

Her nipples will start to protrude, become more pink and noticable.  

Answer 6

Unless you’re breeding your cat chances are you won’t know your cat is pregnant until she is well along in the gestation period. The mother doesn’t begin to bulge noticeably until a couple of weeks before delivery time. Here are a few signs and symptoms you may see if your cat is pregnant:

- Nipples will begin to enlarge and become more soft and pink (this is the #1 sign)

- Weight gain, especially around the mid-section

- Increase in appetite, this usually occurs close to birth

- Some cats may become more affectionate than usual

- Cats may also exhibit morning sickness

- Nesting activity begins

You really need to get her fixed unless or this to happen over and over

Answer 7

You should check around for a low cost spay program in your area...unfortunately many pet owners do not fix the pet and it's natural state is to reproduce. Getting pregnant is very hard on the cats health if it continues over and over again. There are too many animals in this world already.......how do you know the cats went to good homes? Who ever gave you the cat probably thought the same thing.

Answer 8

take her to the vets??
