My cat is pregnant, or at least I think she is! I've had her since July last year when I took her in, she was a stray and had been hanging around my place of work for weeks, she was a very skinny little thing when I brought her home.
I took her to the vets who said he thought she had been spayed as there was no obvious signs of a current or recent pregnancy and given that I had a male intact cat at the time, he said it was highly likely she had been spayed. so things had been going great great with her, shes very healthy and likes to 'argue' with my resident male cat, who has since been done.
I decided to keep her as an indoor cat and she was quite contempt with this until mid-late January she started crying to go outside all the time (she did go out every now and then but started wanting to go out more).
I didn't think anything of her somewhat strange behaviour at first, I just thought she was more comfortable with her surroundings and was exploring the neighbourhood. but 4 weeks ago i noticed her belly looking rather swell, I've kept an eye on her recently and her stomach has grown into like a barrel shape, her nipples are larger but not huge, and her attitude stinks haha, she wont let me touch her! I can feel lumps in her stomach easily but there is not much movement going on.
After extensive research I've estimated that she's around 7/8 weeks but i'm leaning more towards 8, due her size and behaviour, please can somebody give me any advice on pregnant cats and birth?
