Hi all, I was just wondering what advice you all may have about this situation.
My cat, Remi, was in heat a good 8 weeks ago and was extremely quick and sneaky to get out the back door. (I know we needed to have her spayed, but at the time other things were on the top of the list and it just didn't happen) And so eventually after letting our dogs in and out of the door she snuck out and I ran out behind her and searched for at least 2 hours. Now why I think she's pregnant is because there is a Tom cat who for some reason is good buddies with my other outdoor cat and I saw that tom cat run out from under my deck and so i ran over and sure enough there Remi was. She would not come out for anything, and i gave up when she ran from under there and to the fences, by then it was probably 11 pm and couldn't stay out any longer. So long story short, the tom cat and my cat that was in heat no doubt got together. She came back the next night, thankfully. I'm curious and concerned about Remi, she should be 8 weeks pregnant if my guess is right when she got out, however she hardly appears pregnant other then her nips which are very red and very obvious. I have cared for a pregnant cat before and by 8 weeks the other pregnant cat was obviously pregnant. So the only thing telling me she is pregnant is that her nips appear pink/red and the fur is gone around each one. Also i could have sworn i felt a kitten in her stomach but its very rarely i feel it. She's also been cleaning down there a lot more than usual, so I'm just very lost, could she only have 1 or 2? is it something i need to be worried about? Here is a picture of her from above, I will try to get a better one later on. She's naturally a little more petite, so she is no kitten. She is around 2 years old.
TIA, Sorry for the long post!
