Could my cat be pregnant.

My indoor cat got outside a while back when I left the window open slightly while cleaning , she had been missing all day 😬 and I believe she had been having her first season as she was very noisy before her escape .

I've noticed her belly is looking slightly plumper and she's asking for more food and using her litter tray alot more ...also her nipples are a bit more pronounced .

I don't know if all of this is because she's getting older and putting more weight .
I've included a pic of her nip

Could my cat be pregnant.

Why isn't she spayed?

Good question

Fleurdaisy · 17/11/2022 17:34

Yes, if she’s not spayed. How old is she? Vet can scan to check or just wait. Make sure she has a box somewhere quiet and dark. Line it with paper and an old t shirt or similar. Will most likely give birth at night.

How far along would she be now if pregnant?

Floralnomad · 17/11/2022 17:35

You have an indoor cat , unspayed and in season so you leave a window open - that’s either a massive coincidence of events or more likely planned on your behalf . Let’s hope she’s not caught lots of other diseases as well .

ladydimitrescu · 17/11/2022 17:35

If she's not spayed and got out - of course she could be pregnant.

ofwarren · 17/11/2022 17:37

Yes, that looks like a pregnant nipple poor thing.

GoodVibesHere · 17/11/2022 17:38

Yes she could be pregnant if she's not spayed and has been outside.

We can't tell whether she actually is or not by looking at a close-up of a nipple Hmm

You need to take her to the vets.

Chemenger · 17/11/2022 17:41

Unspayed, on heat, outside…let me think… yes, there is a good chance she’s pregnant.

astronewt · 17/11/2022 17:42

Take her to the fucking vets! And get her spayed. Jesus.

Pancakeorcrepe · 17/11/2022 18:34

Please be a responsible owner and spay your cat.

HappyHamsters · 17/11/2022 18:38

She got out, she was in season, of course she could be pregnant. Take her to the vet and what are you going to do if she is.

Why is your poor cat inside ? Old and unwell is OK for indoors. Get her spayed and let her outside. !!

saltrock123 · 17/11/2022 19:15

Please get her spayed now. Highly irresponsible to not do so even if she is an indoor cat.

I do not want any kittens i'm content with one cat . The amount of hate people get if their cats get pregnant is awful.
I will get her spayed but is it possible when they are pregnant

You can spay a pregnant cat. It would have been better for your cat and your wallet if you'd spayed her before she got pregnant

You can indeed. I had to do it to mine years ago after the same incident. I just didn't think!

RatSlave · 17/11/2022 20:02

You need to to take her for a spay abort, she's far too young to have kittens and both her and the kittens would be at serious risk if you let the pregnancy continue.

Regularsizedrudy · 17/11/2022 20:06

Of course she’s pregnant ffs. You’ve put your cat through the horrible experiences of a heat and pregnancy and now she will have to go through even more unpleasantness of a spay abort. Great job. Why did you get a cat if you can’t do the bare minimum for her.

Certain breeds need indoor homes only 🤷🏻‍♀️
