Answer
Paigen,

You have not told me your whole female cat's age! I would get her to a vet immediately to see if she was bred.  Nipples can pink up when they come into season, which may be the case since you found a male in your house. On the other hand, if she were bred 3 weeks ago, her nipples could have pinked up.

There is no reliable way I know to keep the male cats at bay.  Thus, your best defense is to have everyone a spay. Males, ordinarily show no interest in a pregant female and she would fight him off!!!!!!!!!!

Please let me know what your vet says.

Concerned regards... Norm.
