I have a feline, she was always pretty normal looking, but now her stomache looks a BIT baggy, and her um...things (where the milk would come out) are swelling up a tad. I do have a male cat that is always playing with her, but she gets aggressive when he does much, so Im not so sure of shes pregnant....please help.

The first distinct signs of pregnancy happen around two or three weeks after mating. If pregnant, your cat's nipples will start to "pink up" and enlarge a bit in preparation for milk. Then, at between three and four weeks of pregnancy, she may get morning sickness and vomit from time to time. From four weeks onward, the kittens will be visible on an x-ray or sonogram, and may be able to be counted.
Finally, at five weeks your cat's abdomen will start to enlarge. At roughly seven weeks, the queen may begin to lose her appetite and refuse to eat. At this point, the kittens' movement can easily be felt. At seven to eight weeks, she will spend a lot more time grooming herself and might look for a place to have her kittens. Her nipples will then also become even more swollen. They might even expel milky fluid between two to five days before birth.

I agree with Littleicebird.... she needs to go to the vet to be certain. You can also look to see if she's licking the fur around her nipples. Cat's usually will lick until the area around each nipple is bald in preparation for kittens. In any case, if she's not pregnant, or after she gets done weaning her kittens... get her fixed. PLUS get your male fixed before she has kittens if she is pregnant. Your cats will be healthier, and your male will be less likely to spray.

Her nipples will be a bright pink when she is about 3 weeks along. Then she'll just start getting wider. If you have questions, call the vet.
You really ought to get them both fixed.

if her nipples are swelling and her stomach's looking bigger, then she's probably pregnant. the only sure-fire way to know is to get an x-ray. or just wait another month or so and see if she gives birth.

It sure sounds like it is. If you feel around the stomache area you can actually estimate how many kittens are in there (sometimes)

Once in heat the cat will become less agressive with him most likely.
So i am going to say take her to the vet and have her checked
out you know blood test, and sonogram the hole thing.
It sounds to me that she is pregnant.

Some cats don't like to be around people when they are going to have babies.
