A week ago this stray female cat came up my driveway, she has been neglected and it's very underweight. I have been caring for her for the past week. When I first held her I noticed that her stomach was quite round for her hips being as extremely thin as they were.. Her spine and ribs are visible.
She eats a can of cat food and about a cup of dry cat food a day. Before you scold me for not taking her to the vets...I put an ad in the paper the day I found her to check and see if someone lost her, if no one claims her after the ad is up (this monday) I will be taking her to the vets. Here is my question...how can I tell if she is pregnant? I checked her nipples and they're not pink, but they look kinda swollen. Today she was laying on my lap and I heard this funny noise coming from her stomach, it sounds like fluid moving, like a crackling noise sorta. Could this be her kittens moving? Never having a pregnant cat myself, I tried to put 2 and 2 together. But, I'm not positive. Any tips?

The conventional wisdom is, if she's not spayed and she was outside, she's pregnant.
The same thing happened to me with a stray cat; underweight but heavy abdomen. I gave her kitten food for the extra nutrition, since she was obviously starving and maybe pregnant. She didn't have kittens in spite of what the vet said; but then, maybe she was too malnourished to carry them to term. So I don't know whether she really was pregnant. I had her spayed after all this drama was over. She's a good cat.

i be attentive to this could sound chessy yet get a container set it on the edge placed tuna in it attempt to cover in the back of a bush or tree or attempt to stay on the factor of the container while she comes close the flap from the container and that ought to maintain her from popping out get her in ur living house do not enable her out and puppy her enable her come across ur living house shell see that ur basically assisting her . was hoping I helped i'm in basic terms 13 so because it incredibly is why my thought is chessy :)
