my kittens escaped through the window 2 days ago and now 1 of them has really pink nipples which have got larger. Fingers crossed that she isnt pregnant, but is this too soon to tell, im worried as she is only 9months old and has not yet been spayed. any info will be helpfull.

she cud be pregs but u wudnt tell after 2 days lol! take her to the vets in a weeks time and have a look at cats r pregs for 9 weeks in total so just keep an eye on weight gain etc depending on wha u decide to do get her spayed asap either before birth or as soon as she stops feeding

I would say get her to the vet asap - it's far too young for to birth and raise a litter, even though it's accidental so she can still be spayed if she has mated but you must tell them this so they know to expect it!

She could also have some sort of infection so it's worth getting her checked out.

Did you mean BOTH kittens escaped? :o If so, they could both be pregnant. Looks like an expensive time of spaying coming up for you hun :(

Personally I'd get them to the vets and get them spayed as a matter of urgency. Every charity I know is packed with cats and kittens looking for homes and is struggling to find homes for even the young and gorgeous ones.

They wouldn't be showing any signs of pregnancy at this stage, but they're plenty old enough to conceive, even if as Lotti says there's a much higher risk of complications because of their very young age.

thanks for all your comments i managed to get them into vets and yes she is pregnant, and they both going to be spayed next week, obvioulsy she far too young to keep them.Just shows even the people that try and keep them in and dnt want them to get pregnant cant always manage it. At least we caught it in time and she wnt go thro the pain and maybe death which could be caused as she isso small to carry. xxx

Poor puss, but your very wise I think to get her spayed there are way too many cats and kittens competing for homes right now, and once they start having kittens many people get caught up in a vicious circle of the cat not being able to be spayed soon enough then going out and getting pregnant again, it easily gets out of control.

And your right it can happen to anyone, it very nearly happened to one of mine, she was always taken out into the garden and never ever went out of it or let out of sight, then one day she disappeared all day and all night then to the next night and I was distraught, I eventually found her all wet through and sad further up the estate, she was spayed right away afterwards.

They say where theres a will theres a way...well cats seem to have both the will and the way when the time is right for lurve :hihi:

How old are your kittens pinupkeza? At least you've managed to catch them in time to get them spayed.

Thank you for being proactive in this and not making her go through a risky pregnancy and delivery pinupkeza. I know that this must be rather tough for you, but putting her first is definitely the way to go.

And yes- they can be little Houdinis when they want to be. This is why vets advise spaying in advance of their first season. Cats can fit themselves through incredibly small spaces when they really want to.
