First of all i live out in the country and just about 4 days ago i found a little black cat maybe about 5-7 months old and it looked very fat, i took some food outside for my neutered male to eat and i called him and the black cat immediately came towards me ,she wasnt even scared , she was starving.She finished the whole thing ,my male cat doesnt even finish the whole thing.So im thinking she is pregnant.I plan on keeping her.I'll post some pics so you guys can judge from them if you think she is pregnant.

It is difficult to tell whether the cat is pregnant from the pictures, since they don't show her belly. Whether she is pregnant or not, it is good for you to feed the poor, hungry cat.

Yeah, hard to tell from the photos but the way you explained it makes it sound like she is pregnant. When my cat was pregnant, I could feel stuff in her tummy moving a bit. When she was laying down, I put my ear on her stomach and heard a LOT of gurgling noises, weird stuff that I never heard before from her stomach. If she's truly homeless but fat and starving, she's probably preggers. Either wait and see or take her to the vet.
Most importantly, if you have a cat and they are coming in contact with each other, you NEED to take the homeless one to the vet for blood tests for FeLV (feline leukemia) and FIV (feline AIDS) or your cat could get sick (through bite wounds usually with FIV). There is a new vaccine for FIV. Hopefully your cat has had all it's shots. Feline leukemia can be transmitted through saliva, sharing food and water, nose to nose contact, etc.. It's also possible the homeless cat has worms that will be transmitted to her kittens if she's pregnant. She should be tested for them as well or else you'll have a handful of kittens with worms (usually roundworm).
(I caught a feral cat a few weeks ago (not pregnant) and just went through the whole testing process. I have 5 cats already and I didn't want them contracting anything.)

She's pretty! Also very furry so it's hard to tell. She looks like shes older than 5 months, more like 7 or 8. I person can feel the belly if they know what to feel for. If I was your neighbor, you could get me to come over. Oh well..
take her to the vet. If she's not pregnant, you know what to do, get her spayed. If she is, well, take care of her and THEN get her spayed. Good luck! she's really pretty!

possibly. it's hard to tell from photos of her back.
If she's plump n round in the belly and she's homeless, it's probably not fat from over-eating.
cats tend to get pregnant a lot, check it out and get her fixed :)
(like Bob Barker says...have your pets spayed or neutered)
that's a good thing you plan on giving her a home, bless your heart :)

She can get prego then she will get prego if she is not fixed. If shes fixed then its extra fat to her. Since you think she prego you did not get her fixed. When she haves this littler maybe you should get her fixed unless you like more kittens. You should check her belly for tots or boobs to say, if they are white in colar then she is prego. You can take her to a vet and you can check to make sure her kittens are doing good. Be nice to her and get her checked to make sure she don't have a large tumor instead of prego.

I can't tell from the photos, but time will surely tell. Lay your hand on her tummy for about 5 minutes, and if she is very pregnant (3 to 4 weeks away) you will feel the kittens poke your hand gently.

Cats also get round pot-belly looking tummies from worms. I didn't get my kitten wormed right away and it got a big belly I thought it was from eating too much, I found out it was from bad worms and she ended up dying. So please take her to the vet ASAP!!!

Try to touch her belly. Can you feel anything move?
I would take her to the vet.
If she's starving, it could be that she is bloated or that she is indeed pregnant.
Just take her to the vet.

Take her in to the vet and they can do a pregnancy test on her.
