Question
hi, i think my cat came into season about a week ago, there was 3 male cats waiting in the garden for her and they where chasing her around, then after 2 days of them being in my garden all day they have gone and haven't been back is this a sign she is pregnant!

Answer
it could be but it could be just about anything.
I would suggest you wait another two weeks and then check her nipples. If they have turned pink then she is an expectant mother.
You then need to count 65 days from the date of the mating and plan to be there when she delivers

I am not sure what to say other than good luck

I can answer questions on inbreeding of pedigree cats. Also when to inbreed and when not to inbreed. Also when to consider out crossing cats to help diversify the gene pool. I can also answer questions on how to get the best out of your cat at a show.

Experience

I have bred animals for over 30 years. I am actively engaged on research into FIP and other feline diseases also investigating litter size variation as a consequence of breed.
