So this is a bit of a long one, if you can stick with me and govee your best opinions it'd be so so appreciated!!
I got my girl from a rescue on the 17th of march but I've noticed some strange behaviours recently and I'm starting to wonder if she may be preganpr - the speculation is mainly due to her vets notes from while she was in the rescue btw!
So she went from 3.59kg to 4kg in a few weeks (before.coming home). I haven't weighed her again yet but I think she's gained weight. The vet noted a lot about her as she was badly abused and had bald patches etc but the worrying thing is "very wriggly, abdominal feels quite full - poss pregnant?" Note they left but never answered or went back to. After this they continued to treat her for her flea allergies and cleaning wounds etc so the notes go on about that.
Roughly 2 weeks later the notes say they tried to spay her - "flank incision made. Unable to locate uterus, extended incision and explored further .Only able to locate small remnant of broad ligament .likely spayed.... If comes into heat come in for midline exploration".
After that, nothing. However she was previously a breeder cat (that's kind of why she was reported&rescued -long sad story). Since getting her home she's massively increased appetite, espevespecim the last 2 weeks . The shelter fed her a half sachet morning and evening with 30g dry food each day and advised me to do the same. Eventually Kali would try swipe the rest of the sachet so I upped it to 1 full in the.morning, 30g dry left out and 1 full in the evening, this was fine for a while but now she just yelps and follows us around or sits outside the kitchen (she can't get on but knows where we keep her good) yelling until she's fed.
I've also noticed her tests are.more prominent than before and she started biting when my dad or anyone else lifted her - I don't lift her if I can avoid it as o think it's a shame for animals! She also yeowls if I place both hands either side.of her stomach and apply slight pressure. She loves tummy rubs as long as it's very very light. She's been a lapcat since I got her and always wants affection but recently won't sleep unless it's in my bed (much against my wishes) under the covers snuggling.next to me. She also disappears to dark, tight places time to time and yeowls very occasionally. She grooms herself very regularly, especially on her tummy area and has a very saggy stomach. She doesn't look big unless she sits on her back legs. She's a very small cat for her age though (3) so I'm not sure what I'd expect to see if she was pregnant.
Can anyone let me know if I'm being paranoid or justified with worrying haha? I've been trying to get an appointment with the vet but it's been very busy here, they're contacting me on Tuesday (after Easter weekend) to let mw know availabilities.
Thanks a lot
