Question
hi,
i have a kitten and she is nearly six months old. she use to be really active and always out the house but the past week or so she always wants to be in and is very lazy. she is beginning to get really fat and lazy. could she be pregnant at just months?

Answer
Hi Alex
She could be pregnant at six months old. Do you know if she mated with a male cat? You would need to know when and then count 65 days and think about taking some time out to help with her delivery.
Alternatively she could just be lazy or suffering from a disease
The best thing is to take her to the vet and let him examine her. A quick check with  a stethoscope might reveal additional heartbeats, or test to see if she has a medical problem
