you will feel bumps on the stomach at about a month into the pregnancy. They are only pregnant for about 63 days. A couple more signs are they get more lazy and their stomachs get bigger than usual. If she is an outdoor cat she will want to come inside and lay around. She will also become more affectionate and want to be held and petted a lot more. So give her lots of love. Also, before she has her kittens, make sure you have a place set up for her to give birth. Before they give birth, Cats like for it to be kinda small and dark. Therefore she will not become stressed. Stressed Cats in labor may have birth complications Hope this helps! Enjoy time with your new kittens!

The first visible sign of a pregnant cat will probably be the fact that her nipples get larger and change colour to a darker pink.

Usually their behavior changes to being more serene and they will start looking for a place to nest.

At five weeks you should be able to feel the fetuses in her abdomen by touch, and at six weeks she will start swelling visibly. She will deliver in the tenth week after conception.

you can tell if your cat is pregnant because her nipples would swell and become pink. Also her stomach will get larger and she will put on 2-4 pounds. You can tell that your cat is pregnant not fat because if they are fat they will be fat all over but if they are pregnant they will just get larger at the stomach. Your cat will also become more affectionate and quieter. She may not eat much because she might get morning sickness but make sure there is plenty of fresh food and water to have.

The first sign is weight gain around the tummy,and an increased appetite! another sign is her nipples will swell slightly,if you feel her tummy, you may be able to feel the kittens heads like little lumps that move around, when you touch them, and you will also know when the birth is near, as she will start nest building looking in cupboards etc.

I believe they can. When i was pregnant my dog wouldn't lay on my stomach, and at times he would sniff it. The further along I got, he was more and more careful not to get on my stomach. One time he took his paw and layed it on my stomach and just sat it there.

Immediately after conception you may not be able to tell if your cat is pregnant, but over a course of around a week or two, you should notice darkening of her nipples, the development of milk, and some stomach growth. She also may start to act a little.... grumpy and agitated, make sure you feed her, it seems to make her nicer. :)

There will be a change in behaviour in your pregnant cat. She may become more affectionate or moody depending on the individual. She might do some strange activities such as carrying around a small toy while mewing softly (this is a make-believe kitten and she is practicing for her upcoming motherhood), or may become extremely aggressive and harass and attack other animals in your home or even you (Those hormones are raging and she can't help it!). In the early part of the pregnancy, your cat might have morning sickness, just like people do, and it only lasts a small amount of time so don't worry as long as she is basically taking care of herself. You might notice an increase of eating, drinking, and urinating; her body is adapting to life with the babies. The belly will become more plump and the skin tighter as the kittens grow inside. You will be able to see the bulging belly more easily as the pregnancy progresses, and maybe less so if your cat is long haired. Later in the pregnancy, the teats will start to swell with milk and might leak a little. And you will know for sure when she goes into labor!

If you suspect that your cat is pregnant, and you want to be absolutely sure, see your local vet. If you don't want your cat to have kittens, then have her spayed before she gets pregnant; it takes less that 5 mins and causes her no harm, although she might be a little sore the next day.

  • Its own pregnancy? I would certainly hope so.
  • Some other animal's pregnancy? Probably smells and behavioral clues would cause the cat's behavior to change. Its behavior might be interpreted as prescient.

Can pregnancy occur when a cat is in heat but unwilling?

Pregnancy can only occur if the cat courted with a male.. It could occur even if the cat was unwilling, but I'm pretty sure if you keep your cat indoors, and watch it when you let it outside, will it avoid pregnancy. Unless you do want kittens.
