My kitten is only 3 MONTHS old, but I'm not sure if she is pregnant. She is with a male kitten, same age, but they are not related. They go to the vet tomorrow to get fixed. Will they beable to tell if she is pregnant?
Her signs.
1. Eating less?
2. Two red bumps on belly.
3. Got bigger.
4. Likes being held less.
Please help, and is this even possible?

Kittens don't mature as young as 3 months. Females are usually spayed about 6 months which means that they usually mature LATER than 6 months. I really don't think it's possible for a 3 mo old female kitten to get pregnant.
Mention to the vet tomorrow about the eating, bumps and size change so he can make sure she's in good health so she doesn't have problems with the surgery. If she's sick, you may have to put off spaying her. You CAN neuter the male and that will help.
On being held less... that's just her current feelings... not likely to indicate anything else.... cats sometimes get that way.

Most female cats do not go into heat until 6 months of age. Also, males become fertile around 4 months of age. She is most likely not pregnant, but needs to be fixed when she is old enough.

Three months is too early. I'd suspect something at 4 months, which is the earliest I've heard of one getting pregnant, but not three.

How big are the bumps? Are you sure they aren't just her nipples?
Sorry, I know it sounds crude, but cats have more than two nipples so they may seem 'out of place' to you when in reality they are just normal.
