Check to see if her nipples are larger.
Very gently run your hand over the surface of her tummy to see if you feel a sort of swelling and small lumps the size of walnuts. DO NOT feel or prod the lumps.
When a cat becomes pregnant, her demeanor may change. Pregnant cats become very affectionate.
Stand back and look at your cat's overall shape. From the side, pregnant cats frequently look a little swayback with a slightly distended tummy. From the top looking down at the cat, a pregnant cat's tummy is frequently distended slightly more than halfway from the neck to the tail. This look has been compared to the posture of a burro. If your cat's profile has changed from normal to burro, she might be pregnant.
To distinguish pregnant from fat: fat cats are fat all over, including the neck, the legs. etc. Pregnant cats are not. However, keep in mind that fat cats can be pregnant too!
When a pregnant cat gets close to delivering her kittens, she may start nesting -- arranging blankets, towels, straw, whatever, into a secure place to have her babies.



Tips -While the "burro" look is a good indicator that a female cat is pregnant, this is not always accurate. There are medical conditions that can cause a cat to retain fluid in her abdomen, which could make a cat look distended in the middle and swayback.



Warnings !!Some veterinarians offer to "remove the pregnancy" or spay the pregnant cat. Some veterinarians do not recommend doing this beyond a certain point in the progression of the pregnancy, while others perform this surgery at any point during the pregnancy. For people who struggle with making the decision whether to abort or have the kittens, but who really do not want the kittens, one option is to ask the vet to spay the cat but to NOT tell you if she was pregnant.
NEVER ever poke, prod or fondle your queen's tummy. To do so could cause miscarriage, stillbirth or other serious complications!
