Do you think my cat is pregnant? she is slightly bigger around the tummy area and you could see very clearly her first four nipples starting from her rear and they are pink, but the strange thing is that i dont really remember her being in heat. If you need any further info please ask

Each female exhibits symptons of going in season differently. Some are very obvious, others aren't.
Unfortunately, it definitely sounds as if she is pregnant.
I'm only offering some sound advice - there are too many KITTENS that are put to sleep because there are not enough homes. In some cases, they are the fortunate ones because they weren't placed in homes that thought the kitten was cute and had to have one. As the kitten grew to a cat, it wasn't as cute anymore. As it grew to maturity and started to shows signs of being pregnant or was a male cat that started to spray inside because it wasn't neutered it was kept outside to contribute to the pet overpopulation. Maybe if it got really sick, it would see a vet, in most cases too late because it was never kept up on vaccines.
This once cute kitten that grew into an adult cat was neither cared for or loved anymore so it soon became an alley cat, wandering in search of a safe haven, risking starvation, dehydration, disease, mistreatment and dodging traffic. Then the cycle repeats itself because someone had to have a cute little kitten but didn't do the right thing and have it spayed or neutered.
I work at a kill shelter and it breaks my heart to see the animals that have been left to take care of themselves by irresponsible pet owners. It breaks my heart to see healthy kittens euthanized because there aren't enough homes out there for them. It breaks my heart to know so many organizations are working hard to combat this problem by providing low-cost, no-cost sterilization and still people don't get it!
The next time you want to get a cute little kitten or that adorable little puppy, the first thought should be "we'll have to get it spayed or neutered!"
After your cat has her kittens, please consider getting her spayed. She will live a healthier life than one that each heat cycle she is pregnant. And how can you do what some of the best humane societies across the country can't....guarantee good homes for each and every one?

the symptems of pregnancy are
* 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
so yes I am guessing she is. also her stomach will not really buldge untill a just a few weeks befor giving birth.
take her to the vet!
GET HER FIXED AFTER BIRTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is is indoor/outdoor? Have you felt her tummy? If a cat is pregnant, you can actually feel the developing kittens as large bumps in her abdomen. Does her stomach seem to have "dropped" a bit? Is she gaining weight all over, or is it localized in the abdomen region?

Congratulations! Your gonna have kittens. The last two litters my cat had on the couch! One was only one kitten but the last one was 5......took her five hours and every time I rubbed her tummy the contractions would kick back in. It was cool, five hours, five kittens.....and yeah, we're expecting again.

Why don't you take her to a vet. YOU may not remember her being in heat, but that was probably because she was out having sex while she was in heat.

If she's not spayed and she goes outside, then yes, she's probably pregnant. Get ready for kittens. Then get her SPAYED.
