My cat, her name is oreo but mom and i call her baby because she is so little, weighing just more than 10 pounds and being a couple months shy of 5 years old. shes an inside cat, we got her from a friend who houses stray cats she comes across since. We got her when she was about four/five weeks old and since then she took such a liking to me. She follows me everywhere. Sometimes i joke she thinks shes a dog because she'll come when i call her and listen to other simple commands. She got out two months ago on May 29-June 1. She was on her second day if being in heat when she got out. When we got her back she was no longer in heat. We thought maybe she had gotten pregnant but shortly dismissed the thought. It wasnt until this week she started showing symptoms and signs. Last night she started attacking our 10 year old male chocolate lab. The two are normally so civil and frankly quite cute together. so it was odd that right outside my bedrooom door she would start attacking him, and whenever he would walk near the door. She was laying on her side all spread out and breathing heavy so i went to her and pet her and she calmed down.I also grabbed her toys which we call her 'babies' since she carries them around the house and mothers them and sleeps with them. i brought her to my room and stayed with her. i looked up her symptoms and most of them pointed to the possibility of her being pregnant. Stiff tummy, breathing heavy, lack of appetite(she hadnt eaten much that day), attitude change(good and bad), and resltessness. i didnt think it was possible but i counted back the days and its almost been 60 days since she got out. i cleared out my closet and took this basket i had and put a blanket inside of a pillowcase and laid it down inside of it and placed her babies in it. she now wont leave the closet. unless its to eat(barely) or drink or to come "check up on me" for a couple minutes. I also have a cat door on my bedroom door, so she could come and go as she pleases without disturbing me, that i had to put a gate in front of so she cant get out. but the only time she cries to get out is when i leave the room, and once im back she cuddles with me for ten minites then scurries back into the closet. I check on her every 20 minutes, but im still concerned. Im not sire if she could be pregnant. Ive never had a pregnant cat before. My mother has and thinks that this is her starting to nest since the average cat pregnancy time frame is almost up. im not sure.
Help!! any tips?
