My cat is pregnant

14:24:22

Question
My cat I think is pregnant (her belly has swollen and her nipples got bigger and pinker) and when I listen to her stomach I hear little popping sounds.What are they? I also feel slight lumps and movements.Is that the kittens? I also think that she is maybe 7-8 weeks along.

Answer
Saphira,

Yes, you are most likely feeling fetal movement. You're also probably hearing mom's digestive system. If she is 7-8 weeks along you should be seeing her babies very soon so I would strongly advise keeping her indoors and making sure that she has a safe place that's quiet and dimly lit away from other pets to labor and deliver her babies.

If you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me again at any time - I'm more than happy to help in any way that I can.

Kind regards,

Ali
