I'm really not sure, but your cat will begin to get a fat tummy soon if she is pregnant. I hope you will have your cat spayed so this will never happen again. There are so many cats that there are not enough homes for them. So please be a responsible pet owner so cats won't have to be put to sleep. Your local shelter can tell you about low cost spay/neuter in your area.

It can be difficult to tell until she in nearly due. Her tummy will look really round and swollen. A vet can take an x-ray at about 7 weeks to tell for sure how many she's going to have. Also, she can can pregnant again right after the kittens are born!!

My Cat did an identical element! And confident your cat is pregnant. :) do no longer hassle tho, it will be high quality. while your cat is going to have her kittens she will have the flexibility to objective and come across a small risk-free place. i choose to advise you supply her a field, no longer so massive, no longer so small. you will desire to placed the field in a secure quiet corner. that's up on your cat to return to a variety the place to have her infants tho. if she does not like the field then only stick to her the place she needs to have her infants. while she is having her infants, first she will have the flexibility to circulate lots (she will have the flexibility to objective to get right into a cushty place) and he or she ought to even pant like a canine. only stay beside her so she feels risk-free. some cats choose to be on my own tho. Then the cat will do her element. :) If the kittens are a million-5 weeks outdated you may gently and softly work together with them from time to time yet do no longer do it continuously or like regular somewhat while the mother cat is there or she will have the flexibility to circulate her kittens out of the field and placed them someplace else. be sure you come across them solid properties :)) And If i've got been you, i'd keep one kitten if your cat had a number of kittens. Sorry for my grammar. :)

Early on, there are few outward signs of pregnancy.
The cat may adopt a more serene disposition.
Sensible nesting activity begins.
Pregnancy in cats lasts about nine weeks, but during the first half of that time a typical expectant cat gives few clues that she is pregnant. She hunts, rests, and generally behaves normally.
Under the influence of progesterone, the hormone of pregnancy, and with an ever increasing weight in her abdomen, she soon moderates her behavior, gradually reducing her activity level and resting more.
Is my cat pregnant?
If you think your cat might be pregnant, the first check her nipples. These become more prominent and pinker by three weeks of gestation. By four to five weeks after conception, your vet will be able to feel golf-ball sized swellings in her abdomen. At this time the developing fetuses are usually quite easy to count. Shortly afterward, her belly becomes a visibly enlarged.
Multiple fathers
Unplanned breeding of pedigree females by both pedigree and non-pedigree males, producing litters of both purebred and crossbred kittens, confirmed what breeders had long expected: a litter may be sired by several males. This could have a survival potential for the offspring.
In large cats, such as the lion, when a new male takes over a pride, it is not uncommon for him to kill all cubs sired by the previous dominant male.
The frequency of infanticide in domestic cats is unknown, but at least one highly respected world authority, zoologist David MacDonald of Oxford University, England, has observed a strange male cat enter a communal nest among bales of hay and kill six kittens belonging to three mothers before the cries of the survivors brought the mothers running back.
Risks during pregnancy
The greatest risk to unborn kittens occurs during the first three weeks of development in the womb. Both drugs and infections might seriously impair healthy development. If, for example, the mother is exposed to feline infectious enteritis (FIE, or panleukopenia) at this time, the surviving kittens will be born with severe brain damage. Even exposure to live panleukopenia vaccine is dangerous. Cats should be vaccinated before they are pregnant, to increase the amount of passive protection they pass in the first milk to their kittens.
Never vaccinate pregnant cats to increase the level of inherited protection. Never vaccinate other cats in the household of a pregnant cat. Live vaccine virus can be shed by vaccinated cats and affect the pregnant cat’s fetuses.
Pregnancy and hormones
During pregnancy, the production of progesterone rapidly increases, peaking at around the 35th day after conception. This induces the more serene disposition of pregnancy. At the same time, the belly starts becoming visibly more rotund.
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.
She rearranges her bedding material and spends increasing amounts of time in her chosen nest. This impregnates the region with her own scent, something that will eventually help her kittens orient themselves toward home.
As birth approaches, the mother loses her appetite and restlessly paces in the nest until contractions begin.
Pregnancy checklist
1. Do not even think of breeding from your cat unless you know you can find homes for the resulting litter.
2. Do not breed from your cat until she is emotionally as well as physically mature.
3. Ensure that your cat is well nourished during pregnancy, and especially after, during her period of milk production.
4. Test your cat and the proposed father, to ensure they are not carriers of viral diseases such as FIV or FeLV.
5. Do not let your cat "follow nature’s course" and breed with a feral tom. Feral toms are excellent breeders. They are also the most likely source of life-threatening infections such as FIV, FeLV, and feline infectious peritonitis (FIP)
Cats do not become visibly pregnant until after about five weeks. Shortly before this time, your vet will be able to tell you how large the litter will be.
A few days before birth, a pregnant cat will begin looking for a good nest, which she will scent-mark. This will help her newborns recognize home.
But to be sure you may want to go to your local vet and have them check
