Hi guys,
I'd like some help with a strange new thing going on with my female kitten who is 5 months old. I noticed a few days ago that she had a singular pea-sized lump under each of her nipples, as if they are swollen from underneath. The nipples themselves don't look particularly enlarged or pink (maybe just slightly?) but overall not that noticeable.
I have two sibling cats, a male and a female. The male was neutered a few weeks ago when he was 4.5 months old. I would be horrified to think that she is pregnant but that seems to be the only conclusion when googling this issue. I don't think it is possible that the male could have successfully mated and impregnated her at 4 months old, could it? I have not observed any typical mating behavior from either of them whatsoever.
Is there a logical explanation aside from pregnancy? She isn't showing any of the signs of going into a heat cycle, although I read that females can start as early as 4 months. My vet wanted to wait to spay/neuter both of them until 6 months but I was scared so got the male neutered at 4.5, thinking that was a safe margin! Any and all advice/insights would be super helpful. Thanks!
