Why on earth would you let your UNSPAYED cat outside??? Are you completely unaware of the pet overpopulation problem! If you don't want to spend money on your pet to get her spayed...then you should not be a pet owner. Get her spayed whether she is pregnant or not. The vet can still do the surgery while pregnant if it is done quickly.

Please see if you can get her spayed IMMEDIATELY. IF she's not too far along they will do it. It is much better for the cat all around if she doesnt have kittens. ALOT of stress is put on the cat when they give birth, are you prepared for a trip to the emergency vet just in case? What about money for a C-section if something happens? If she cannot be spayed, then she needs to be put on kitten food and usually replacement milk to give her extra nutrients. Caring for a pregnant cat is alot of work and if she is an outdoor cat she MUST be brought inside. If you decide to let her have the kittens, make sure as soon as they are weaned to get her fixed. There are way too many unwanted kittens in the world to let her keep getting pregnant over and over again.

If she's stopped calling or coming into season (in heat) then this could be a sign that she's pregnant.
Or you could gently run your hand under her tummy - if you can feel her nipples then this is also an indication. About three weeks after mating the nipples can become firmer & change colour - it's known as 'pinking up'.
She might be slightly more affectionate than usual and slightly hungrier. You might also have noticed her being sick as some cats have morning sickness.
But as she's un-neutered, I'd say that it is probably extremely likely that she is.

Ask your parents for what it costs to have her fixed as a christmas present.
If she is pregnant she might have the kittens outside.
Like at least once a year.
Then they go totally feral and become a nuisance by breeding like rabbits, I mean like cats.

A question you should really ask yourself is wether you want kittens or not?
Simple as that if you want the kittens ask your local vet for advice on the pregnancy.
If you don't want the kittens get her speyed right away. it could already be to late if the kittens are nearly full grown.
BEWARE your cat will be on heat a month after giving birth if not carefull she will be pregnant again before she weans her first litter.

If she's been outside and in heat she is most likely pregnate. A male cat can smell and hear a female in heat up to 5 miles away. Please get her to a vet and get her fixed. 80% of cats do not get a home for life, many of them are sitting on death row in an over crowded shelter....

Unless you know she is eating more, most likely she is.
