Question
hi i wanted ti know i found a stray cat and i took her in. she is very friendly. i wanted to know her nipples are enlarged and pink. did she just give birth or is she pregnant?

Answer
Hi Alicia, If this cat JUST gave birth then her nipples will be full of milk and engorged and very hard by tomorrow. If she had kittens a while ago then her nipples are usually sagging and empty looking. If she is pregnant she will have a hard feeling tummy and will be gaining weight daily and soon you should feel some movement !
