HI THERE,
i gave my cat to my sister to look after her in june when i was doing training for work away from home. my sister had her until the 13th august when i returned. when i seen her i realized she looked rather larger around the waste than normal, not too big but a little bigger.
my sister said she could be pregnant as she got out a few times and was in heat 3 times when she was there. (i know she should have been spayed, but she was an indoor cat and my sister was warned not to let her out)
on august 15th i took her to the vets to be checked, they confirmed she was pregnant with about 3-5 kittens and she was about 4 - 5 weeks pregnant.
now exactly a month later.. so 8 - 9 weeks pregnant she has not increased much in size...she is a little bigger but from pictures and videos of pregnant cats on the internet at the same stage she doesn't seem as large at all... :S
i have fealt her stomach also and can feel and see slight movement but only on her left side, is this normal?
i am just wondering if maybe the vets have getting the dates wrong or the amount of kittens wrong? or if this is normal as she is a small cat anyway?
additional info:
she is a year old herself today (11/09/2013)
she was the runt of her litter, so is and has always been small
here is a pic of her also as a birds eye view so you can see for yourself.
