Hi guys,
This is my first post on here and it seems to be one of the best forums I've looked at over the past few days.

I'm 99% sure my cat {1 year old} mated over christmas week. I'm just not sure if the cat she mated with {or we think she mated with} was neutered or not.
I think she's pregnant but as I've never had a pregnant cat before I thought I'd check with some more owners out there to see what you think.

She just wants to be in the house all the time and and when she's not sleeping she's overly affectionate {she's a happy cat all th time anyway} and is like my shadow.
I've taken some pic's of her nipples as these also I'm sure have grown in size. I'd be really gratefull if someone who's had pregnant cats before could give me their opinion on if you think she's pregnant or not

This one I think her belly just looks bigger as she's on her back ?

sorry, have no knowledge of pregnant cats, i am sure someone will be along very shortly but have to say her nipples do look very pink!!!

Thank youfor the reply anyway archiebaby ...... I think they look rather pink too x

when did you take her to stud? you can normally go by the dates, 3weeks from the mating.

Edit: Oh I just noticed that you dont know WHO she mated?? shes a year & not spayed? Id take her in to be spayed now.
Why is she allowed around males that you dont even know are neutered?? I very much doubt a neuter boy will mate.

I could be wrong (and hope I am), but I think this was either a deliberate mating or at the very least a "oh well it was an accident but we are now delighted if the results of this accident are a litter of kittens" type of mating. Which in my book is deliberate too.

As controversial as some people may or may not find it, I was not/am not against the idea of my cat having 1 litter, I really wouldn't like to get into a whole debate type thing over it

I was just really hoping someone who has had a pregnant cat before could give their opionion based on the pic's I've posted to if her nipples look like that of a pregnant queen ?

Sorry but I'm really not trying to upset or offend anyone or get into a debate about my cat.
I'm just after a simple answer or opinion BASED on the pic please x

Her nipples do seem pink yes. How long ago would you say she was mated, did you see the mating happen?

I have added a link of an experience I had when I took on a cat from someone~ just so you no it isnt all roses!

If she is pregnant, which I shall assume she is, if she isnt spayd and has been allowed out! then be prepared and have some money ready for if something goes wrong. usually they are fine and do fine by themselves but best to be prepared


a sad story

I didn't see any mating but my husband was sure he saw her with a male cat. I'd say anything from Xmas eve that she would of mated. So if she is pregnant I have that at 3-4 weeks ?
If my cat is pregnant we are prepared for every evenuality that may or may not come with this. And all kittens however big or small the litter may be, already have good caring lifetime homes ready for them x

just as you are free to choose what YOU want to talk about.... so are the rest of us. If we want to comment on the irresponsibility of letting your cat mate with any tom (Dick or Harry) then we can. That's the beauty of internet forums. We are all allowed a say. None of us can dictate what others say.

if you don't want to comment on the fact you bred your cat in a totally irresponsible manner, then don't. But don't try to silence the rest of us!
