How can you tell how far along in pregnancy a cat is?

Answer 1

Week 3: Your pregnant cat's nipples will start to become enlarged and pinkish in color. Her belly will not show any signs of swelling at this point.

Week 4: Her belly will now start to show a slight swelling. The swelling of her nipples will start to be more evident. Her appetite will start to increase.

Week 5: Some cat experts recommend that you consult your vet for a "growth formula" to satisfy your pregnant cat's accelerated appetite.

Week 6: Your cat's pregnancy will become obvious at this point. Cat pregnancy symptoms will now include behavioral changes. The pregnant cat will now start to move around with more care. She'll avoid stretching and twisting actions, and if she usually goes outside, now she'll probably want to stay inside. Her appetite continues to increase through the sixth week.

Week 7: The greatest sign of cat pregnancy is now your cat's behavior. You should see a noticeable change in behavior as she starts to show some signs of excitement. This is also called the "quickening" stage of cat pregnancy as the fetuses start to move. She'll roll and stretch and start to search for a spot to give birth. This is another good reason to keep your pregnant cat inside so that she doesn't make a nest outside.

Day 61: Labor can start as early as 61 days after conception and as late as 70 days.

I've had a pregnant cat before and right now my cat is currently pregnant.

So the above are all very true signs of cat pregnancy.

Answer 2

It's hard to tell, but I can try to help as much as possible. Nothing is obvious until about the 3rd week. By then her nipples will become pinker. She will probably eat more too. At about the 5th week her tummy will begin to swell. At the 7th week her nipples may enlarge. By the 8th you will be able to see kittens moving and she will eat A LOT. A few days before or maybe even a week before she delivers she will make a nest. This is how you can tell she will have them soon. About 72 to 48 hours before delivery her appetite may decrease and/or completely disappear. She may start panting as well.

Answer 3

a cats gestation period is normally 63 to 67 days so go by when your cat was in heat... if you dont know then usuall about a week or less after her nipples start to swell

Answer 4

Remember the last time she was in heat and when she last had access to a male. That is the easiest way to judge the pregnancy.
