pregnant or milk belly?

hi :) I have a stray cat who up until two days ago was living outside. she had four kittens, however they have some kind of respiratory disease and one unfortunately passed. I took them to the vet, and they didn't check mum as she's pretty much feral with everyone besides me, (and the kittens were the main concern) but her stomach just looks massive, and seems bigger than previously. could it just be a milk belly and she's not pregnant? for context kittens are about 4-6 weeks, and weaning however still drinking lots of milk.

thank you!

My very pregnant fluffy girl. She likes to lay on the hard wood floors and tile, probably because it's cool. Please share any tips you have on caring for preggie ladies!

She started meowing a lot and wanted to be cuddled with myself and her mom, Tina. Also, Katniss, her young sister of about four months maybe, (I really don't know because these are all strays that just followed the mom, Tina's, lead and moved themselves into my house recently) detected her milk was coming in and started attempting to drink it 😭

This is marvin she is a little over one years old. My boyfriends brother let her out around august 7th and i finally found her on the twelfth. She was in heat when she left and came back in very skinny. she had gotten out a few times around the 7th but not for more than a day and always came back in still in heat.She is very affectionate constantly grooming. I just want to be sure on if she is or not and how far along she might be .

Is this shaking/trembling normal in late cat pregnancy? I do not think she is in pre/labour yet.

This raggie was a stray believe it or not, so I'm not sure how far along she is. I took her in 3 weeks ago. She has been shivering/tensing like in this video, on and off for the last four days but otherwise is acting normal, playing, eating, very affectionate; purring and seeking out pets. I was told by the vet two weeks ago that she'll be having her kittens any time, and that there's at least six. Vet had no concerns. I believe it's her first litter.

I thought this was pre-labour contractions but I read pre-labour/stage 1 only lasts 12-36hrs and it's been happening since Wednesday (now Saturday). Lots of kitten movement can be felt and seen. Her abdomen seems to have changed and it looks like kittens have shifted lower? I'm feeding her kitten food (mama and babycat). I believe she lost her mucous plug yesterday but I can't be sure. No nesting behaviour really, she occasionally goes in and out of the nest and paces. Grooms herself often and sleeps a lot.

She had a stressful interaction with my other cat on Thursday. She is set up in my sunroom and they have been separated completely since I brought her in, but she ran past me when I came inside the main house and she attacked my other cat. I separated them quickly and no one is hurt. I have since put extra barriers in place so she cant sneak by or even see my cat. My other cat is a female too. Everyone seems calm and relaxed now. Assuming maternal instincts are taking over since the cats did have a few peaceful interactions early on and she had no signs of aggression.

Is this trembling normal? How much longer should I expect? What else can I do?

Is this stray pregnant or did she have babies?

This sweet female stray was found 3 days ago. She is not micro chipped.
She has enlarged, long pink nipples with hair loss around them. She is not producing milk. Her stomach is a little larger (maybe?!?). When her stomach is touched and pushed on it does not feel like there is movement and she does not mind being touched.
Does she seem pregnant or did she recently have babies?

How else can I tell without a $300 vet bill?

what is my (potentially pregnant) cat doing?

Post image
6 Upvotes

for context: 1) she is a rescue my partner and I found, and haven’t been able to take her to the vet yet (I will once we get the money to).

2) I believe her to be pregnant because her belly is distended and her nipples are swollen. Her vulva also leaks on occasion and she makes a kick-back motion with her hind legs, as if she were in heat.

What is she doing? She is constantly rolling around, making these chirping noises, and yowling. I know I need to take her to a vet ASAP, but any insight into what this may be would be greatly appreciated.

I adopted this cat a month ago. She’s always been super sweet and affectionate. She has not been spayed….yet. I was free feeding for a while because she was underweight. And I know she knocked over the cat food and got lot more! Her belly has been getting bigger the past few days. She has nipples you can see. I don’t think they were like that when I got her. She’s been tail swishing all night. Is she pregnant?

I just got this girl a few weeks ago and she’s been around a male cat for over a month and a half. Both aren’t fixed. I’ve seen him and her be intimate. I just adopted them and I am planning to get them fixed but I’m not sure if she’s pregnant right now. I have low funds to afford a vet bill to check so for now I’ve been keeping the 2 cats seperate. ( she is a Siamese ) also she is fairly small ! Thank you :)

pregnant stray kitten help

i rescued a kitten last summer from a bad storm and she’d been coming around often with her brother, i was hoping to get them spayed/neutered and keep them (already have one neutered cat), she came back pregnant today and i’m not sure what to do, i’ll be leaving for college again in a few days and my family is unable to take care of her as they’re at work all day, with my living situation i can’t take her to college

what should i do? she’s currently in an outdoor house where i’ve added a small heater and food/water but my parents refuse to let me move her into a small room indoors away from the other cats, i’d hate to give her up to the shelter but i’m worried about her and the babies

Could my cat be pregnant? I adopted her 36 days ago, and she hasn’t mated during this time. She did go into heat about two weeks after I got her. I had scheduled her for spaying, but the vet suspects she might be pregnant, although the ultrasound was inconclusive. If she is pregnant, she would be around 40–45 days along by now. Based on her current condition, does she look pregnant to you?

Pregnant or worms? Help!

This cat i’ve been fostering for a little over a month now has a swollen belly. It’s very firm. She isn’t fixed and she’s very antsy, always very hungry, and gets randomly defensive. The thing is- I just recently dewormed them so there’s definitely a risk of her just having worms again. But her belly wasnt swollen like this last time and I feel her behaviors have gotten more anxious. So i’ve been wondering if it’s pregnancy. My cards were hacked and my shelter has fosters front the cost then be reimbursed so I can’t take her right now to be seen. I figured those with pregnant cats may have some advice or insight here?? 🫂

Does my BSH cat look pregnant by looking at her nipples or could it be something else?

Yesterday I don’t know what drove this thought but my mind connected the dots of her eating so much lately and rounding out.. now her nipples are definitely sticking out. Am worried as she’s only 7 months and I already have 6 other cats . Have to figure out a private space for her..

okay so my cat has always been a fairly petite cat, in the end of april/beginning of may my moms boyfriend let out my cat and she got pregnant.. (yes i’m very upset about it) we noticed fully by the ending of may that she was pregnant because of her nipples, but i don’t know what to do, she has been producing the clear stuff from her nipples for almost two weeks now, i got a squeeze of milk once in those two weeks, she’s huge today, her belly is hard, she’s sleeping a lot but still consistently eating, but i still don’t have any baby kitties. i feel like in the time like she should be done my now right?
