Is this cat pregnant?

I get a regular visitor. She was a skinny wee thing before I started feeding her. She's looking chubby on the sides when you look straight down at her. I've tried to take pictures but she's a shy wee thing. No chip. Can't get a look at her nipples. She seems grumpier than normal. Any ideas?

If it’s early you can do spay and abort. It depends on how you feel about that sort of thing though.

She is gorgeous 🥰. Placemarking for updates Grin. You sound like a fabulous place for kittens OP

Yes! Get a cardboard box and put it near your wardrobe with some old towels in on the next few weeks.

She's gorgeous

She looks very like my old grey (female) mog from years back, even down to the tabby banded tail.
Love grey cats!

Vet appointment booked for the 30th when we've got to take the doggos in for jabs anyways. They are going to have a look over her then if they think she is pregnant they'll do a scan

She can tell you’re a safe place op, looks like you have a cat Smile
Her shape would suggest babies! Exciting. I would keep her in - if she does belong to someone and they care, someone will put posters up or use social media to try and locate her soon enough then you can go from there.

She looks like a Smoky or a Misty to me. Gorgeous girl!

YouOnlyPostNonsenseAfterMidnight · 24/08/2022 13:37

She looks just like my mum’s first cat and the one we got from a rescue my friend worked at when I was a teen (DM was easily persuaded once she saw how much she looked like her first). They were both named Suzie. (Also talked DM into Suzie’s sister Tanzy).

Wee update on luna 🥰 can feel baby kitty's kicking today. Nipples are massively huge almost comically. She's enjoying her 4 feedings a day. Going to make a nest box up in my room tomorrow. She's taken well to a litter tray

Ooooooo babies sooooooon!! Can’t wait to see the pictures. She’s certainly found her feet hasn’t she

A shameless place mark, for kitten 🐈‍⬛ pics.
How amazing she chose you!

BlueKaftan · 27/08/2022 20:32

I’m so glad she found you and your family. And moved right in. 😂😂

Cece92 · 27/08/2022 20:34

Yes this is how my daughters cat was. She was very thin then looked like she swallowed a rugby ball. That's how my ex knew she was pregnant. Believe it or not she had sickness swell. The vet said he could bring her for a scan but it was going to cost him and he already had a good incline she was pregnant xx

Soubriquet · 27/08/2022 20:35

This is like my dream tbh. A little cat turning up that is expecting kittens.

But my resident cat would go feral, and my dh will probably die because he’s allergic and has asthma. He just about copes with the cat we have now. Another one plus kittens would probably do him in

worth it

LiftyLift · 27/08/2022 20:37

Bless her little paws. Good luck to you CatGran!

germsandcoffee · 27/08/2022 20:37

She's beautiful

SmartCar · 27/08/2022 22:06

Still taking her for a scan as they'll be able to roughly tell me when she's due. Just to be a bit more prepared 🙂 dd is very excited

Ooooooo exciting. Was the vet able to see how many

NighghtmareNeighbour · 30/08/2022 12:08

Ohhh, how exciting. What a lovely thread😊

SmartCar · 30/08/2022 12:13

2-3 for definite but it's hard to get a good look. Vet thinks she's in pretty good nick and thinks it's her 1st litter

Very exciting. I hope all goes well and you update us here with kitten pictures.

Leafy3 · 30/08/2022 12:19

Eeee!

ofwarren · 30/08/2022 12:29

Yay!
I love a kitten thread, so exciting!

Soubriquet · 30/08/2022 12:35

Bless her. Have you started asking around for homes so you’re not left short when it comes to rehoming them?
