Yep 63-65 days..usually cats need to breed over several days to get pregnant. In the first couple of weeks you should be able to feel some small ripples on her stomach..following this time (around the 3rd or 4th week) her nipples are more noticeable because the fur around them sheds a little to make it easier for the kittens to nurse, they are also more pink in color and larger. About a week before she is due, she will go around your house and in hiding places such as closet openings to look for a "nest". If you do find out that she is pregnant, it's best to feed her kitten chow (preferably Purina) because it has enough nutrients for lactating cats. Try keeping her indoors from now on, please try to spay her as well as there are some who dedicate their lives to saving homeless pets from dying. Good luck :)

60-70days or about nine weeks. take her to the vet for a check up and some blood work if necessary as there are infectious diseases that she could get if she was mated by an unknown male. if she is less than five months old she is not likely to have started have heat cycles yet which ocurr about every three weeks. some vets will spay her if she is pregnant but others say it is unethical and it could be illegal depending on where you live and by the way if she is pregnant she will know from day one. you can't generally tell until four - five weeks into the pregnancy by touch and it is inadvisable for you to poke and prod her if she is as you can damage the sacks the kittens are in. her personality will change she could becoming more loving and homey. she will be hungrier than normal. if she is not pregnant or if you honestly can justify it to yourself if she is get her spayed ASAP

was your cat in heat when she escaped? IF she wasnt she didnt get pregnant. Cats are pregnant for 60-65 days. You cant tell untill the last 20 days of pregnancy otherwise you can have the vet check. Its not too late to spay her. If she was in heat and got out just recently you can spay her even if she is a few weeks pregnant. Dont add to the overpopulation of unwanted cats please.

It takes about 63-65 days (9 weeks), after about 3 weeks, you should see signs of the nipples going red and slightly enlargening.

Kitty gestation period is between 60 to 65 days. If she is pregnant, you'll know soon enough... she eat more and she'll get bigger and bigger around the tum tum. :)

It takes a cat 9 months like a human. It will take a while for you to notice anything that has to do with a pregnancy. Just watch it's stomach, and if it looks bloated or fatter at all take it to a vet.
