Question
Hi I found a stray what looked like a kitten almost 2 months ago. Since bringing her home I have noticed alot of weird changes. She eats more than our other cat, she poops alot and is very aggresive when you touch her stomach. My question is how do I know for sure that she is definetley pregnant. When I feel her stomach on the bottom I can feel little sacs. Recently today I have noticed she is much more vocal and cries alot now. She is also restless now and runs from room to room like she is chasing something and I have had many cats before but none of them used to act like this could it be possible she has a tumor?? I don't have enough money to bring her to the vet yet but if you could respond asap I would really apprciate it thanks and god bless kirsten

Answer
Kirsten,
She may be pregnant. If she is restless, she may be trying to find a place to have her kittens. You should try to supply a box with shredded newspaper in it and hopefully she will use it.  Don't be surprised, however, if she has them in your bed!  
I don't know why you think she may have a tumor. If she is large and looks pregnant, she is probably pregnant.  Time will tell.  
If she is, after having the kittens, please consider having her spayed.
Good luck and God bless,
Becky
