I think my cat might be pregnant,she eats a lot sleeps a lot under my bed in her mini house and in her kennel. Not spayed yet. Her nipples are super really light pink and compared to the rest of her body her abdomen is about medium sized. Although she's hyper and her tummy sags a little too. She meows when you pick her up and purrs a lot. Please don't be mean about it!! I promise I will get both of my female cats spayed ASAP!! Please forgive me that she isn't now I just saved her from beig a homeless cat!! And when I'm a bit older (I'm 12 now) I'm gonna save dogs and cats that have no homes!! ^_^ thanks!!

It takes three weeks before cat pregnancy signs become visible. Every cat owner will be able to recognize the symptoms.
During the first weeks of cat gestation, it's almost impossible to notice that a cat is pregnant. In general she will behave normally.
Check her nipples, if you think a cat is pregnant.
Her nipples become pink after about three weeks. This is most visible if it's the first time the queen is pregnant. From that moment it will take six weeks before the kittens arrive.
Your vet will be able to confirm if she's pregnant.
There are other cat pregnancy signs.
Pregnant queens become quieter and more loving.
They sleep more and are not interested in male cats. Heat cycles stop and a queen becomes more loving.
If your cat is used to walk outside, she will voluntarily spend more time at home during feline gestation.
During pregnancy a cat will gain weight. But it lasts until the fifth week before this becomes visible.
After six weeks her nipples will also grow considerably. From then on they are filled with milk.
Your cat will want to eat more and more. This is good. Give her enough (her regular food mixed with kitten food), but don't overfeed her. A few days before birth, her appetite will decrease again.
One last thing. Sometimes a queen shows cat pregnancy symptoms, without actually being pregnant. This is called false pregnancy. However, this is quite rare.
