Our cat is a little over 3 months old. She goes outside sometimes, and her belly looks really big, she is usually a small cat. So I was wondering if it's possible she's pregnant or is she too young? I really hope she too young lol.

Kittens can get pregnant as early as 3 months! Spay the cat ASAP. The vet will intro fraticide, if the kitten is alreay pregnant.

Cats can go into heat as early as 12 weeks (3 months), so it is possible but I would guess highly unlikely. When they do get pregnant, it takes a while before they start to show, so she must have gotten pregnant at least a couple of weeks ago already, probably more, which sounds unlikely.
A simple check: How does her nipples look? If she's not pregnant, they will be tiny and probably whitish. If she's pregnant they will be pink and swollen. (This is one of the first signs of pregnancy that I usually check for, long before you notice a belly).
Hopefully she's just suffering from bad digestion or something!
If your kitten is not a registered purebred and so you're not planning to breed with her, PLEASE have her spayed!

It's not impossible, I had a calico who got pregnant when she was only 4 months old, sadly, when they do get pregnant that young the babies seldom live. Like some human girls who's bodies grown up faster than their minds, it happens to cats and dogs too. For healthy babies, a cat should be at least a year old.

We once had a kitten get pregnant at five months - before we could get her spayed! She was sooo little to have babies, but did really well. I don't know at what age it is actually possible, though. Five months was plenty young enough!
