Hi Freaky Azie,

Here is some tips for you!

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!!!

Good Luck  thumbup.gif

Thanks for the great tips! biggrin.gif Some of the things you mentioned are really happened to my meevie. I wonder why she suddenly becomes more lazy than she is now.. hehehe But, her personality doesn't really change though, the most troublesome part is, when she's playing, she's always become very hyperactive & sometimes fell on her tummy. haihh.. If she really is pregnant, will it affects her babies?

Hi...

You are most welcome  biggrin.gif
I don't think so it will affect her babies because like humans babies, the kittens are protected by the sac. 
Between how old is your cat?
Is she still under 1 year old?
Cause if she is, its a bit dangerous as your cat will still be considered a kitten and is not ready to give birth as she might encounter complications and the prenancy might be dangerous to herself as well as the babies.

ohh ok.. *relieved* yes, i think right now, 7 month. why is that?

Pregnancies in kittens are considered dangerous because the kittens are not matured yet and might not be strong enough to handle the birth.  Just like teenagers are not equipped to be mothers yet so it is the same for kittens as well.  It would be best to only breed cats once they have reached adulthood and are much stronger to handle births.

Some cats are fragile and being pregnant or giving birth could be a danger for them as they are not physically strong yet.  All the best to you.  Do moniter her condition especially near the birthing time.

Give her lots of food high in protein e.g. kitten food for energy and for the babies growth.

Good Luck  thumbup.gif

simple... if your cat DO NOT have any pedigree cat certificate.. automatically they will become domestic cat (which include our very own Kucing malaysia).

if you cat is long hair.. but DO NOT have any pedigree cat certificate, automatically they become domestic long hair (a name given for unknown background). you cannot pin point your cat is persian, maine coon, american curl, siamese, ragdoll, birman, etc if no prove. only pedigree certificate will prove everything. else it is a domestic cat.

you do not need to be malu if your cat is domestic cat smile.gif most of us here own kucing kampung (domestic short hair) and some domestic long hair.

i'm a proud father of 4 kucing kampungĀ  thumbup.gif
