I have a cat who is a year old and she is pregnant, or so I believe. I have a male and a female and the week before I had my male fixed he got, well he just kept going at her. Now its been 5 weeks, she is gaining weight, her nipples are swollen, and i feel weird saying that, and she has been staying away for the most part. A couple of friends that have had a cat that had kittens say she is pregnant, but What signs do i look for and what signs should I look for for her ready to give birth?

  My cat is just now a year old and she got pregnant about six weeks ago. We had our male fixed probably a week after she... to see them grow and now the whole family is sad because of what happened. So i hope this doesnt happen to anyone else....

  IS she outdoor or indoor? From what my vet set, technically female cats are always in heat. Its just up to the male. My... i think even more so now. She does hide most of the day though. I think a cat has a 6-8 week gestation period right?...

  I also have cat who I believe is 4-5 weeks pregnant. I am not sure but I put up a picture of her on here. Her name is... so big that you can see them through her fur. Is there any advice on what to do for her or signs of giving birth? ...
