Neighbors abandoned a young cat. We took it in. At the time She was inside/outside cat. Her belly got bigger so I figured she was pregnant. We bought a litter box and she has been inside since. Her belly has been large and nipples extended/pink. She got out this morning and was gone for 7hrs. Tonight she came back and her belly seems to not stick out to the sides as much but is still big. She doesn't have the "I just have birth" look to her and no signs other than a slightly slimmer belly. Do cats "drop" or can the belly go from stocking way out to just normal big? Newbie cat owner ;)

Yes, cats do drop them too.  So with a little luck you will get foster grandchilren in the very nearest days.

If you got unlucky, she did delivered them outside...  So you have a dilemma what to do, if she wants to go outside again.  Normally you shalll not allove her. But if you think she has her litter  outside...

Do go around out there, with a lamp, and look up all hidey holes you can see.  ASAP. Its hurry.

You can ask some kids to do it too, kids are good to nose up unsusected hideys.

Good luck!
