Hello!
I took in what appears to be a pregnant mama cat on March 26th, I have had her for three weeks now. I am having a very hard time figuring out how far along she is as I know nothing about her except what I have learned by having her with us the past few weeks. I guessed that she was about 5 weeks when we took her in just by looking at her and her belly however I am second guessing myself, she would be 8 weeks now. She is a very sweet girl but very protective of her belly area so it is very difficult for me to attempt to feel around/look around her belly. From the short moments that I have been able to I have felt one or two small lumps in her upper/middle abdomen and soft pudginess towards the bottom, where it hangs down. I was able to catch a glimpse of her nipple, just one, and it's white not the pink that is normally expected in a pregnant cat. She does the normal nesting behaviors and has searched out a few places, I have put a few bins out and prepared them for her. She has quite the appetite and walks with a waddle, her stomach is very noticeable, she is on the smaller side. I have attached a few pictures of her from when we first got her to now. I'm hoping to get some insight as to how far along she is, if she's even pregnant! We are planning on taking her to a vet to be looked at, I was just hoping to avoid the stress on her because she does not like to be picked up or be out of her comfort zone
