Hello I'm new here. I was searching for info on pregnant cats and came upon this board. A little about me before I get started. My names Amber I have 4 cats. Tiger Lily 9 year old (10 next month) torbie spayed, Annie Rose 2 year old (3 in Dec) Snowshoe, Kitten 9 month old Black and White DSH spayed and last but not least the only boy Bagheera 4 month old Black Siamese mix Neutered. Bagheera was a foster failure. The keep em fairy hit hard with him. He's such a good boy and fit in so well we had to keep him.
Now my problem. Annie Rose as you could probably tell is the only one who isnt spayed. She is my parents cat technically. They bought her from a breeder. Well apparently I dont know any details really. I just found out about this little detail when Annie was shipped off. Anyways getting back to the problem. Apparently in the contract with the breeder (supposed to be show breeder) said that she had full rights to take Annie back until she was bred and reared a litter of kittens that she would have most of the control over. I had been begging my parents to fix Annie ever since she was 4 months old. They never would give me a good reason why not. Now I know they knew I would have had a fit and I did. I dont know what they were thinking signing soemthing that said that.
Anyways. Two weeks ago Annie went into heat. The breeder called around the same time and asked when her next heat would be. Mom told her she was in heat. Breeder said mom and dad had to bring Annie over for a few days so she could breed her to her new male. She said they were a perfect match blah blah blah. I got home from work noticed Annie was gone and they tell me what was going on. So 2 days later the breeder calls. She's not sure if Annie got bred but she was beating the crap out of her other cats. We needed to come and get her. So I drive up there (over an hour away) and get Annie. I cuss out breeder telling her Annie is not show quality so therefore should not be bred. Plus her temperment isnt great and niether is her health. She got mad at me and said I better not do anything to her or she will take her away from us.
Day after I contacted the vet about getting her spayed (behind parents back). There's no way I would willingly bring kittens into this world. Vet said she doubts she was bred but that its not a good idea to get her fixed. She asked if I really wanted to chance getting her taken away. Vet said the breeder would know if Annie was bred. Apparently they make alot of noise?
Fast forward 2 weeks to now. Annie Rose who has always been way to thin (would not gain weight for nothing) is filling out. She now looks like a slightly thin cat instead of a skeleton almost. You can see her nipples. They look fairly large. They are much larger then the other girls. I never noticed them before. I hadnt felt any reason to inspect them so to be honest I dont know if they were always more visible then the other cats or not. She's gotten alot sweeter. She never liked me and was very independent with every one. She would except attention every once in a while but preffered to be left alone. All of a sudden she is Miss Sweetheart. She's come out of hiding and is giving head butts and rubbing all over everyone.
Basically I am wondering if she sounds pregnant. We are waiting hopefully for her to come into heat soon. (She's already late by 4 days) I am unsure of what steps to take. I honestly never thought I would be put into a position like this. Any advice would be appreciated.
Here are a few pics of the cats.
