About 5 weeks ago, I left my cat in care of my aunt and mother and she ran away. I could tell she was in heat when I left her so I asked for them to keep extra care of her, and obviously they didn't. Tipsy(my cat) has always been a really small cat, and active. She was introduced to outdoors (my fault, I like to tan, and she wouldn't ever leave my side) and I belive thats why she managed to get outside. I've looked all over the internet for clues on seeing if she's pregnant. I noticed at least a week ago, that her nipples were bigger, and when I picked her up, her stomach is round, but up towards the abdamen, not so much her uterus, is that normal? So, I figure she's been sleeping in my room alot more, and I have put a kennel in there just because she is comfertable with it. Any ideas on when she could be poping out little bunndles of fur?

Probably about 5 weeks along. Seems like a logical conclusion.

You will knwo when she is having contractions that the kitties arent far away also when she is "nesting" she could just be days away. She will nest by finding a quiet spot and she will not leave it often and she will want to be alone most of the time. Basically, she will act a bit weird, a bit different than usual. This is the main sign to look for that it wont be long. Cats generally dont get very big in the belly when pregnant so it is hard to tell how far from just looking at her. The other thing you could do is take her to the vet for an examination and they could give you a rough estimate of her due date. Good luck!!!

If you have not taken her to the vet I would do so now. Little mommy needs some medical care. I would venture to guess she's about 5 weeks and as I remember a gestation period on a cat is about 65 days. So just she should deliver in about a month.

The longest a cat could be pregnant is for 6 months or less,and she is pregnant from the way you describe her,and take her to a veterinarian more often

A cat is pregnant for a total of 3 months. And yes you should be feeding her kitten food exclusively. It is much higher in protein and fat, two things she needs right now.

Kittens "bake" for about 2 months. So if she stayed with your family for less than a week, she went-in heat, came back-not in heat, you should be seeing furballs in about 3 weeks. Congrats ^.^ Kitties rawk!

Count 65 days from the day she got out. That's the gestation period for cats, give or take a day or two.
