How can you tell if your calico cat is pregnant?

Answer 1

Breeders go from the date their Queen is mated to a Stud cat and work from there. A cat's gestation lasts on average 63-65 days. If you do not know the date your cat was mated, it can often be rather difficult to tell exactly how far along the pregnancy is.

There are, however, a few signs to go by:

• At three weeks, the Queen's nipples become large and prominent and turn a pink colour. This is called "pinking".
• Around four to five weeks into the pregnancy, most Queens start to visibly "show". Weight gain and enlargement of the abdomen become noticeable around this time.
• Pregnant cats are normally much more loving - it is not unusual for a pregnant cat to constantly want affection and company.
• In the later stages of pregnancy, a cat's appetite noticeably increases. Feed the Queen as much as she wants. After all, it's eating for more than just one
• Mammary glands become enlarged and become full of milk a few days before birth.

Ultrasound done by a vet is another way to guess the birth date, and to check on the number and health of the kittens.

* She loses interest in roaming/hunting and prefers to stay inside lounging. * She becomes NOTICEABLY more affectionate, approaching you to be cuddled and held much more frequently than usual. * She shows a large increase in appetite. * Depending on how far along she is you may notice her tummy swelling, and often if you actually hold her tummy you can feel the kittens moving around. If she is at this stage get ready because you only have about a week left to prepare for the new arrivals! * She will start "nesting". Hours before the birth she will find a place she considers warm and safe - possibly your own bed - and begin to turn it into a form of birthing den. You should prepare a nice clean cardboard box for her instead, lined with shredded newpaper, which can be easily disposed of after the birth. It's a messy business. Once the kittens and the mother are cleaned up you can look into adding blankets and so on. If you have decided she is pregnant you'll need to feed her as much as she will eat as often as she will eat it. This should be a combination of her regular food AND kitten food, which is rich in the nutrients she needs to promote healthy growth in her babies. AND GIVE HER AS MUCH LOVE AS SHE WANTS!
You will notice her middle bulging at the sides. My cat became very clingy and followed me about. Good luck
Take her to the vet to be sure. Some ways are if she is being more protective, particularly of her stomach. If she looks fat but the way to tell is it looks more ovalish, and less like fat.
There are many ways you can tell if your cat is pregnant. At three or four weeks, her nipples become bigger and pinker that a sign that she is pregnant that stage is called pinking and if she shows more affection towards you and if she has a change in diet that's another way. Expecting Queens will start to eat a lot more also.

You don't notice if your cat is pregnant until a little while after her egg was fertilized. When you start seeing a bulge in the mid, to lower section of the cats belly, that's when you know your cat could be pregnant. The belly starts growing at a somewhat rapid pace after you find out she is pregnant. If you wanted to know for sure, you could have a vet tell you if she is or not.
I cant answer im too busy thinking about cute little kittens
Big belly, swollen nipples. Later on in the pregnancy you can feel the babies wriggling around.

Answer 3

Usually you can tell that a cat is pregnant around 3 weeks when their stomach starts to grow larger. Before that, it is very hard to tell if the cat is pregnant. Some signs are eating more, more affectionate, and not wanting to go outside as often. Now be careful, if your cat is already overweight than the stomach can mean other things as well, and the cat could just be over-eating. Also, you will know your cat is pregnant if she was in heat, went outside, had access to a tom cat, and came back and has any of those other symptoms. My cat just snuck outside last week when she was in heat and we believe that she is pregnant.
