Gave birth almost two weeks ago to one kitten, belly still looks big

[juanda]

Hello. My cat just gave birth to only one kitten at the beginning of the month and it's been almost two weeks and her belly still looks big and pregnant. She keeps licking her vulva and I'm watching for some discharge but there's none. She doesn't look sick or in pain or troubled. She's nursing and grooming her kitten. She eats, drinks, and uses the litter just fine. But I'm worried why her belly still looks big. And this morning, she was yowling and rubbing herself everywhere like she's in heat. Anyway, is it possible that she's still pregnant? Thank you.

It is very possible. You’d need a vet visit to be sure, and it might be a good idea so you can rule out any leftover problems in the uterus. Let us know what the vet says.

Some cats will give birth to one kitten and then the rest later.

Hi. I would get her checked out by a vet. Two weeks is a bit long for her to deliver more, but if she were impregnated at two different times - which is possible - then there certainly could be more kittens in her womb. Issues with the uterus, as noted above, are also a possibility.
