mating and becoming pregnant are very high.

At what age can my cat become
pregnant.
Your cat will first come into season (heat)
somewhere between four months and twelve months and can become
pregnant with the first mating.
What are the first
signs that a Cat is Pregnant? The
first noticeable sign of pregnancy in a cat is a
change in her nipples. Approximately three weeks after mating
her nipples will become pinker and more enlarged. This is called
'Pinking' |
Pregnant

Your cat may become more affectionate and want
more of your attention.
There may be an increase in appetite. Pregnancy can be confirmed by
your vet from approximately 22 days using ultrasound.
As the pregnancy advances your cat may begin
'nesting' behaviour. She may begin searching for a place to
deliver her kittens. She will try to get into closets,
cupboards and other secluded places.

How long is a cat pregnant?
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. |

Gaining Weight
Your cat will begin to gain weight after the
fourth week and you will notice that her tummy is beginning to
swell.
What are the
signs my cat is going
into labor?
Usually about two days
before giving birth your cat's mammary glands will increase in
size and she will begin producing milk. Your
cat's temperature will decrease to about 99 degrees F and you
may notice a drop in her appetite. She may become restless and
begin nesting in earnest. She may follow you around and become
very affectionate or pace from room to room. Other signs are
that she may begin purring, meowing, panting, licking her
genitals and she may vomit. You may notice a vaginal discharge
and eventually contractions. Not all signs apply to all cats.
Then the birthing process begins.
