Any of you guys have any idea on how to know if the cat is pregnant? My kitty seems a little "chub" lately. Should there be any signs?
Don't ask me to go to the vet.
Thanks ya'll.

Check to see if her nipples are larger. Around day 21, a pregnant female's nipples will often turn bright pink. If they are, she is pregnant. If not, wait another week, and check again. Some may not turn bright pink or become enlarged, but most will.
The gestation period for a cat is between 60 and 67 days with the average being 63 days. It is easy to remember, nine months pregnancy for humans, nine weeks pregnancy for cats.
Very gently run your hand over the surface of her tummy to see if you feel a sort of swelling and small lumps the size of walnuts. DO NOT put too much pressure on the lumps.
When a cat becomes pregnant, her personallity may change. Pregnant cats become very affectionate, and not all teeth and claws.
Stand back and look at your cat's overall shape. From the side, pregnant cats frequently look a little swayback with a slightly distended tummy. From the top looking down at the cat, a pregnant cat's tummy is frequently distended slightly more than halfway from the neck to the tail. This look has been compared to the posture of a burro. If your cat's profile has changed from normal to burro, she might be pregnant.
To distinguish pregnant from fat: fat cats are fat all over, including the neck, the legs. etc. Pregnant cats are not. However, keep in mind that fat cats can be pregnant too!
Your cat may also become very lazy and more lovable.
NEVER ever poke, prod or fondle your cat's tummy. To do so could cause miscarriage, stillbirth or other serious complications!
DO NOT rub your cats belly hard at all just lightly move your hand over her belly!!!
