Question
Sorry to bother you but I dont know if my cat is preagnet, her tummy got a little bigger and it's hard, her nipples are out, and they've been out since mid November, her tummy is very sensitive for a while, can you please help me?

Answer
It is possible she is pregnant. The only way to be sure that is what it is, and to rule out that she is ill, is to take her to your vet. Please take her to the vet. Also, if she is pregnant, and it seems you have not had any experience with this, please work with your vet to assure your cats safety. You may want to consider aborting the pregnancy if you aren't certain that you will be able to find homes for the kittens. There are far too many cats and kittens in shelters being killed every day because there just aren't enough peopl to adopt them all. Which brings me to the most important thing. Whether she is pregnant or not, please have her spayed as soon as possible. I cannot stress enough how important it is to spay and neuter our house pets. The pet overpopulation problem makes it such that, if you care for animals at all, you must spay and neuter.
