Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / January 2007kitty pregnant???
Ok, I have been trying to figure out if my cat is pregnant. I have been researching and seen that the first sign is pink nipples but her nipples don't appear to be any pinker. My cat has had puking incidents, for about a week or so.. nothing major though and i'm pretty sure her belly is getting bigger. It is also tight too. So what do you guys think, pregnant or not? And if yes what do i do? I've never had a pregnant cat before, lets just say this is a surprise lol. > Ok, I have been trying to figure out if my cat is pregnant.

I've > never had a pregnant cat before, lets just say this is a surprise lol. how long have you had this cat? Do you know for a fact that she was outside when in heat, or otherwise in contact with a male? I ask because what you describe could also be symptoms of a blockage or other intestinal problem, and could be quite serious. What does her vomit look like? Undigested or partially undigested food? Bile? What color? These are important. In any case, you should get her to the vet post haste.

Hell, do it if she is. Kitty abortions are very controversial, but when I think of all the hundreds (thousands?) of unwanted kittens that will come from her and/or her offspring, I'm willing to put aside any and all moral objections to the idea.

Hello, thank you! So many people here are squeamish or get all moral about this topic, but I agree with you. Cats will not care if they lose a litter to abortion. If they do realize they are suddenly not pregnant, they will not likely go into a depression like humans will. People keep posting that they will, and that they know. No, people, they don't. Do the right thing, Shermy and Molly. If you think your cat might be pregnant, she either isn't spayed and could have had contact with a tom, or you don't know the answer to either. Vet visit for spaying is in order. SignatureCheryl >> Ok, I have been trying to figure out if my cat is pregnant.

The vomit was just food and it was partially digested, there was no bile just food. The color was orange but her food was meow mix which is orange/brown. I have switched her food to one that the first ingredient is meat. > Ummm i do not know for sure if she was in heat but she i also have a male > cat > who is not fixed.

ROFLOL, Soz ladies,I had to laugh...not at you, but with you.Cyber, you have such a way with words.. It's scary lol. I agree with your sentiment, but there are a few more dilomatic ones that you could have used... This of course coming from the mixi bunny creature alien cardiologist of the 6 th sealed who had the cheek to call me a ****wit too so I must now be tainted by annointment of the bunny..?!!! Who am I to talk about diplomacy anyway? <snigger> *True... you must get florence and zebady fixed* or you might end up with some freaky kittens, especialy if they come from the same litter...not the best of ideas. Not that expensive, & will save you a whole bunch of trouble that you could do without.

If you are morally opposed to this idea, consider it anyway. And if you still can't do it, please be prepared to take responsibility for the kittens for their entire lives. IOW, if you give them or sell them to someone, make sure they are spayed/neutered first and tell the people you will take them back if they have to give them up for any reason, at anytime, for their entire lives in order to ensure they don't end up in shelters or abandoned and left to fend for themselves. If that thought terrifies you, consider the first option I listed above. There are way too many kittens in this world. You have a choice right now not to bring anymore into it, or to at least make sure it stops with this litter. The vomiting needs to be checked out if she's been doing it for a week, especially since her belly is hard. She's probably knocked up, but it could be something dangerous. Oh, and please don't let your intact cats outside. Good luck!!

They used to all use a NNTP-Posting-Host header from the same IP address, and they fixed that. But now the from email headers are all @uwe addresses.

You notice that the big problems one always come from www.CatKB.com Not saying there is not a problem but any one else see the pattern I am talking about >> It's another one of those @uwe things, are these people all >> idiots and/or trolls? > >You notice that the big problems one always come from www.CatKB.com >Not saying there is not a problem but any one else see the pattern I am >talking about ?? Matthew - give me a break! I'm legit, love my cats, not a troll, usually lurk & don't post very often. And when I do post I post through CatKB because I don't know any other way to post without my email standing out there & I want to preserve my privacy. There's a lots of trollers, sure, but most are genuine. Take a look at my cats on www.webshots.com - search under mariib M. >>> It's another one of those @uwe things, are these people all >>> idiots and/or trolls? [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > genuine. Take a look at my cats on www.webshots.com - search under mariib > M. Actually it was not anything against you if you read what I wrote. That is why I said "Not saying there is not a problem " I will apologize if it was miss read but when we get these OMG problems they usually come from CatKB and almost always turn out to be trolls > I have had her since she was 6-8 weeks and she is now about 9-10 months > Ummm i do not know for sure if she was in heat but she i also have a male cat > who is not fixed. You have got to be kidding. Of COURSE she is pregnant. Take her in immediately to be fixed. The vet can estimate how far long she is. If she's not far along, I'd have her fixed right away. If she's close to delivery -- you have to make a choice. You have to decide if you can keep up to 6-7 kittens or at least pay to have all of their shots, Felv tests, wormings, and have them fixed. It will be very expensive, but all has to be done. By the way, after she has the litter, she will go into heat again (while the kittens are still pretty small) and she will get pregnant again right away. Have the boy fixed too, but I believe they are still potent for a month or so afterwards. Ask the vet. You may have to separate them for quite some time. Rhonda Real simple. Take the cat to the vet. Tell them about the vomiting and have them check the cat out. Take a fecal sample so the vet can check that. The vomiting could be as a result of worms. Even if you've previously wormed this girl she could have gotten them again if she's inside/outside (which I assume she is or you wouldn't be worried about her being pregnant). While you are in the office make arrangements to get the cat spayed ASAP. W > Ok, I have been trying to figure out if my cat is pregnant.
