Is My Cat Pregnant?

You may have read piles of books when you were expecting your own pile of joy. But do you know what happens when the cat becomes pregnant? Do not put Fluffy's Bowl with pickles and ice cream. Just treat her like the queen she is - literally. The process of a mother cat preparing to have kittens called "queening". The cat can become pregnant at the age of 4 months unless it has been sterilized to prevent it. Queens can continue to heat every 2 to 3 weeks from spring to early fall, making them ready to breed more often. A cat is a pregnancy that lasts about 63 to 65 days. Thus, a cat can have kittens when he is only 6 months old. The best way to find out is to make an appointment with your veterinarian. It can confirm that kittens are on their way and have an idea of how many, in many ways:

• The feeling of the cat's stomach is sometimes helpful, but not always accurate.

• An ultrasound can confirm pregnancy after day 16. An ultrasound can not tell you how many kittens your cat is carrying.

• X-rays can determine the number of kittens predict, but they are not always accurate.

You may notice some clues. His stomach gets bigger about 30 days after his arrival. Another symptom that seems to indicate that the pregnancy continues, two to three weeks after her pregnancy, is that her nipples are enlarged and saved.
