Hello I'm new to the forum, not new to cat ownership though.
I'm posting here because I have been observing my friend's neighbor's cat
for a couple of months, I assumed she was pregnant but now I'm not sure.
I first noticed her getting bigger @ April 10th, her stomach really got big fast.
The neighbor's don't seem to pay much attention to her, she's outdoors, they feed her on the porch and she is constantly hanging out at my friends front door since she pets her. Anyway, I was over there tonight and was surprised to see her still fat... doesnt it seem like she would have had kittens by now??? She seems happy and I tried to look at her stomach to see if her nipples were swollen or anything but she has long hair and she wasnt too interested in having me look too close. What else would make her look pregnant if she wasnt? Worms? I doubt the people that claim her take her to the vet and I'm kind of worried since they are moving in a couple weeks. Is it pretty obvious that you can feel the babies if there are some? Could she be pregnant and have looked fat that long ago but still be having kittens??
Not sure what I really want here, I'm worried about her but feel like my hands are tied since it's their cat. My neighbor asked them if she was pregnant and they said they didnt know. They arent the sharpest tools in the shed
Any ideas or suggestions??
Thanks!
Nancy
