How to tell your cat is pregnant?
Unless you’re breeding your cat chances are you won’t know your cat is pregnant until she is well along in the gestation period. The mother doesn’t begin to bulge noticeably until a couple of weeks before delivery time. Here are a few signs and symptoms you may see if your cat is pregnant:
Nipples will begin to enlarge and become more soft and pink (this is the #1 sign)Weight gain, especially around the mid-sectionIncrease in appetite, this usually occurs close to birthSome cats may become more affectionate than usualCats may also exhibit morning sicknessNesting activity begins
Length of Pregnancy and Number of Kittens
How long does pregnancy last and how many kittens will by cat have are two of the most common questions cat owners have. The regular gestation period for cats is between 58 and 65 days, or approximately 9 weeks. A queen (pregnant cat) may have anywhere from 1 to 8 kittens at a time. The average being 2 to 5 kittens. Your veterinarian may be able to estimate the number of kittens felt on palpation of the abdomen during examination. Your vet may also perform and ultrasound to verify the pregnancy and count the number of kittens.

Yes, it was long enough, b/c I looked out one day and saw my stray cat making it with a local male cat who she didn't even like. She was screaming in pain, b/c the male cat's " instrument " has a hook on it , so the female can't pull away. I'm glad I got my female cats fixed, so they don't have to go thru that. Anyway, that female cat then had kittens 3 months later, on my back porch. I found a home for her and all 4 kittens.
