Does anyone know how long cats are pregnent for, and whenwould you be able to tell.

Nine weeks (ish) (http://www.pets.ca/articles/article-expecting.htm)

Click on my link & read the article.:)

It is hard to tell in most cases. Nipples are often the best indicator.

Hi,

I have grown up with cats andmy kitty has just had a litter. You can tell from 4 weeks ish... at five weeks you can feel lumps in the belly. 6-7 weeks her teets will start to grow and milk will come from them.

She will start looking for somewhere to nest at about 8 weeks onwards. PM me if you want any more info.

she is only six monthsold will she be ok with havin them

Is she a tiny/ small cat?

My cat was tiny when she had hers even though she was 12 months oldish. But vet said she was quite big for a female cat.

May be best to see a vet to be sure but cats are usually fine.

The smaller the animal the faster the gestation period. Hence, the bigger the animal - the longer. Including humans.

Long enought to invest in a dolly tub :heyhey: :evil:

We see many young queens having litters at the shelter, and there is quite a high rate of complications the younger they are. This can range from the kittens being too large to be born without assistance which is very serious, all the way through to the queen becoming very underweight as she feeds the kittens, which is a husbandry issue.

Settle the debate- get her to a vets. The earlier on she is, the greater your options. If the vet decides that she is too small you will need their help.

We also have young queens delivering safely and having lovely kittens so don't worry excessively, but you do need to get her checked out, and if she's not pregnant use the appointment to book her in to get her spayed so you won't have this worry again.

As no-one else has mentioned it..

Get her spayed! Then you can stop worrying about whether she's pregnant or not.
