is my cat pregnant?

Question

she's been throwing up alot lately and it's been getting out of hand.
sometimes when she comes inside she also licks herself...down there, could that mean she was with another cat?
the reason we're not sure is because my cat is only about 6 months old and she's going to be spayed next week. to save my mom of the sadness of signing a paper for her to get an abortion, i'd like to know now.

Answer 1

Cats like down below to clean themselves. Throwing up may be a intallerace to the food you have. Cats are not suppose to be puking that isn't normal. Mabe a little nasia but not throwing up regularly. Hmm, The domestic cat reaches puberty by 6 to 9 months of age. The normal queen may go through puberty and experience her first heat as early as 5 months of age. It is theoretically possible to get pregnant at this time. Purebred cats are thought to reach puberty later than domestic or mixed-breed cats, but this is a subjective assessment; it is not well-documented. Free-roaming males and females may reach sexual maturity earlier than those kept constantly in the home.

Male cats reach puberty at around 6 months of age. An occasional male cat will reach sexual maturity and produce viable sperm at 5 months of age.

Has she gone into heat? Heat is one week of meowing screaming but in the air and trace amounts of blood. If she went into heat you would defently know somethings up. How long does she stay outside for and have you seen a strange cat hanging out latley? Cats don't commonly get pregnant in the late fall unless it doesn't get cold or snowy where you are.

A healthy cat gestation period is typically anywhere from 57 to 69 days, but you'll hear different numbers in or around that range, even from veterinarians. You can estimate the expected delivery date by calculating the days from the last heat. If you've adopted a pregnant cat, well, your vet will have to estimate the timeline.

Personally I would say it is doubtfull unless you know of male cat around, take the cat to the vet and/or try a switch of food. The vomiting is what needs to be focused on.

Answer 2

I don't consider spaying a pregnate cat an abortion. I use to work at the SPCA and part of the job was euthinizing the animals. In our shelter 80% of cats did not get a home. We where often over flowing with cats, when we ran out of cat cages we put them in large dog crates! When a pregnate cat would come in she wouldn't get a chance to get adopted she would be put to sleep. A "good" week there are only a dozen animals(mostly cats) on the list to go down. So please don't think of her as being pregnate if it bothers you(plus most vets can't tell until they are atleast 2 weeks along), just think she's going to get spayed to help save lives. Trust me your cat will never know the difference!

No there's no danger to the mother's lifestyles as a result of her brother being the daddy. Everything you have to realize you'll be able to study out of your vet. As good, you might nonetheless get her spayed after which you would not have got to fear approximately a pregnant cat or kitten, however that is as much as you. I'd get her to the vet for a examine up and ask whilst you are there approximately taking good care of her whilst she's pregnant and elevating the kittens.

Answer 4

Yes, a cat can get pregnant at 6 months, and the vomiting would concern me...not a sign of pregnancy. Take her to a vet, only way to know if she is pregnant.

Answer 5

Your question is, is your cat pregnant? It's possible that your cat is pregnant because of her symptoms.

Here is a site that tells you if your cat is possibly pregnant.

Good luck! A cat at only 6 months old, they aren't sexually active yet. It's possibly she could be sick, and maybe getting a hairball. If you don't find your information online, best to see the vet if it's serious.

Could be but cats can throw up due to furballs and licking herself could mean she is in heat or has another problem.

The only one could really could probably tell for sure is the ve

Hi, i am a vet, but to tell you the truth i work with large animals,
but... concerning your cat, there are signs of pregnency in animals that differ of course from humans,
if you contact ur cat with another tom cat, and she got aggresive, its sign of pregnency if it also have another signs such as if you flat your palm on her back, and she bent down, laying her tail aside, it means she is not pregnent.
but the truth is that in small animals such as dogs and cats, best way is to take blood sample for testing for progesteron level, i am afraid your little cat needs that conformation.

Answer 8

well my cat was pregnant and some of the signs shes having are the same but maybe shes not, but im not an expert so take her to the vet so she could get x-rayed!
