Answer
Hi Evelyn,

I would take the second female to the vet to be checked. You should be able to feel the kits by now.If you think there is a problem then have her checked out. There are a couple of serious conditions that mimic a cat being pregnant. But they are very bad for a cat. Your vet will be able to help you here. Make sure you bring a sample of her stool to be checked also. Good luck.
