Unhappy Is she pregnant?

We recently rescued two kittens (1 male 1yr, 1 female 6mths) who were kept in appalling conditions. As soon as we got them, they were separated and he was castrated. She is booked in for next week. BUT she has started to eat like a horse, her tummy is slightly rounded and her nipples can be felt quite easily. Is she preggers? and if so how far gone does anyone think. A friend told me they won't spay a female that is pregnant, but isn't 6-7 months to early for a litter.

Re: Is she pregnant?

6-7 mths is not to early, but agree if teats are pink beyond doubt then looks like it's a yes, on the other hand she may just have worms-doubt it though, can't hazard a guess at how far she may be gone but think generally cats go for 9 wks and the size of her indicates not much really as some go huge and come with 1/2, some barely show and come with 6/7 so who knows?? Good luck dillydinah and let us know how she is

Thanks very much for your replies. Her teats are pink so I guess we have babies on the way. Poor little scrap.

Re: Is she pregnant?

She can be spayed when she is pregnant! Although it shouldn't be done if she's about to drop.

thanks for all your replies. She wasn't taken from a rescue centre so I know that she has not been done.
