How can I tell if my cat is pregnant?

Question

I have 4 cats (1 female, 3 males) and they are all supposed to get fixed in 3 days! The problem is that I saw one male and female mating!!! Can you tell me how I can tell if she is pregnant?

Answer 1

Unless you’re breeding your cat chances are you won’t know your cat is pregnant until she is well along in the gestation period. The mother doesn’t begin to bulge noticeably until a couple of weeks before delivery time. Here are a few signs and symptoms you may see if your cat is pregnant:

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

Answer 2

You proubly cant tell this soon!!! It may take a while to tell. My cat started acting diffrent and acting like she was tryin to find a private place to give birth to the kittens, which they will do. Its been a while so I cant really remember everything she did. All I can say is you will know cause they just dont act the same as always. That was my first sign and plus she stopped doing the things she does when she is in heat!!! You can get on google or whatever search thing you use and type in signs that my cat is pregnet and many sites will be there, with list of signs, to look for!! But of course, if you are going to the vet in a couple days, just ask them!!! Good Luck!!!

It would be to early to tell for sure but it doesn't matter they can still be sterilized. Kudos to you for doing the responsible thing by getting them fixed.
Do you realize that for every 1 person born, there are 7 puppies and kittens
born? At best, 1 will find a forever home.
And don't forget, that every "Free-to-good-home" litter takes homes away
from animals already at the shelter.

STOP letting your pets; or your friends, relatives or co-workers pets
contribute to the problem.
If you love animals, it is NOT ENOUGH to merely say "My pets are fixed".
Vow to educate and enable others to fix their pets too.
Spaying just 1 female dog or cat, will prevent 6 others from ending up in a
shelter the following year.
Please be part of the solution, NOT the problem!
Thank you. ^..^

If she was in heat, and you saw them mating, then she is pregnant. Gestation for cats is about 63 days. If you get her to the vet at your scheduled appointment, the vet may be able to take care of the pregnancy since it is in its early stages.

I would not be able to have the kittens aborted. You should have your cats spayed/neutered. I just adopted a cat that is pregnant, we live in the country, and can keep all the kittens, but as soon as they are born, I will be calling to get her spayed. I will also have all the kittens spayed/neutered when the time comes.

Call your vet and ask them what to do. They will be able to help you.

Answer 5

Hmm... im not sure if you can tell this early on when you take them to be fixed just get the vet to do a scan and that will then show whether your cat is pregnant or not. Good luck!

Answer 6

You will have to wait a while, and most people dont know they are pregnant till they are in laybor, i would wait about 8 weeks before you take her into a clinic then get an x-ray, the Dr. will be able to tell you whether or not she is pregnant. GL

Answer 7

You will have to wait about 3 weeks, check her nipples and see if there is a change (gotten bigger and gone red), if so then she is pregnant.

Answer 8

You cant tell now. Keep your appointment regardless and just let the vet know what happened.

Answer 9

There teats are swollen, and they get very Moody, and start to scratch...

Answer 10

take them to the vet and ask.
