Is my cat pregnant!?

[isupposejupiter]

I took this picture today (5/01/24). She was gone for one day about 2 or maybe less months ago, she came back the next night and seemed the same. After a few weeks we could already see her belly kinda growing. I’m not too sure if she’s pregnant…how about yall?

Oh, she is definitely pregnant. So you will likely have kittens in the next 2 weeks. Have you set a nest for mommy? It must be in a safe and private place like a closet. We are here for your questions.

Do you feel her kittens move? If so, its about 2 weeks left.

A pretty classic tabby. I suppose most kittens will be more or less copies of her, as classic tabby is fairly dominant. dominates at least over non tabby.

I actually did! But I could not tell if it was the kittens, or just her body being weird.

We do not, we aren’t sure what to do since this is our first pregnant cat…
What could we do for a nest?

Well, how about that! I predicted kittens in the next 2 weeks and she quite literally delivered in the timeframe. Congrats! Looks like 4 healthy babies! When did they come? Is everyone doing okay?

They came today! (5/14/24), around 1:48 PM. Everyone seems to be doing fine, I wasn’t home when it happened but I bet they’ve been eating since.

This is wonderful news! Make sure all continue to nurse well and gain weight each day.
