I just got a stray cat, 8 months old she may be pregnant. Her nipples are larger and pink, stomach isn't big

Question

I had her about a month and a half now so she has about 4 weeks left but her stomach isn't getting very big, is this normal? She was quite skinny when i got her, she wont let me touch her stomach or back close to her tail. what do you think?

Answer 1

I think she may be pregnant but I would take her to a vet to make sure she is healthy enough and old enough for kittens. She seems quite young to have kittens. Definetly take the kitty to the vet just to check things out. Hate to see kitty's like that. Good of you to take her in like you did. Might want to try and touch the belly lightly and see if you feel movement she may have dead babies in her belly. Hope not but could be she is pain...That is why you should take her to a vet ASAP..

Answer 2

Sounds like she's pregnant. Since she was so skinny when you found her, that is probably the reason she isn't very big. Also the kittens may be small too because of her not eating. Buy some kitten chow & feed her that. It will give her all the extra nutrients she needs & when the kittens start eating on their own, they will take to the kitten chow right a way cause that's what mom's milk will smell like.

Answer 3

Sounds like one expectant mother. Take her to the vet.
If her stomach isn't growing, she may have a dead litter inside of her. She may also have other health problems that are affecting her and/or the kittens. Take her to the vet.
Answer: Take her to the vet.

Answer 4

I think maybe she is a lady of the night and will not let anyone touch her unless they have green backs.


But seriously I think she is pregnant!!!

Answer 5
