Kitten Care : Stages of Pregnancy in a Cat

For the first stage of pregnancy, a cat will not show any signs, but two to three weeks before delivery, the mother cat will have an increased appetite, swollen mammary tissue and a larger abdomen. Be sure to feed mother cats, or queens, the proper nutrition required to support kittens with advice from a veterinarian in this free video on pregnant cat care.

I don't know if my little feral cat I "Tamed" got another cat pregnant, but if I come to him near her while she steals his food, he freaks out, and the tortoiseshell will run away if I try to pet her, but if she is eating she won't stop unless i *almost* strike her. I do this because my mother doesn't like her. She looks bloated, but her ribs were poking out when I saw her for the first time. Is she pregnant? We can't afford to have her be pregnant, as I would take her under my wing. D: Help now

@brunettegirlxemily Hi I know im late at answering but acctualy if you spade your cat /dog they acctually get fatter and to correct you cant really mess up spading a cat if you dont really know she was spaded and you were told u could tell the vet to shave her belly and look for a spading scar
