Question
My cat is a small cat and, she gotten REALLY big. I think she might be pregnant, because I felt a small little kick like movement. Her nipples haven't enlarged at all.I have know idea if she is or isn't, and I need some help. I wanted to say she is like 2 weeks, but I need expert advice. I mean last year she had 2 kittens, and I heard that was rare, and i thought may be I did something wrong. I don't want to mess this up, and i want to be ready this time it happens. She is always excited about everything, and I don't know if it is time for her yet. Please help me!
Hi Danielle,
When was she in heat? And did she have a chance to mate with a Tom? The answers to these questions will give you an idea of if she is pregnant. And when she is due. Here is a link with good info that will help you.

Good luck. And if you feel anything is wrong take her to the vet right away.
Ciao, Karen

Some thoughts to carry with you.
A Cat's 10 Commandments
My life is likely to last 15-20 years. Any separation from you is likely to be painful.
Give me time to understand what you want of me.
Place your trust in me. It is crucial for my well-being.
Don't be angry with me for long and don't lock me up as punishment. You have your work, your friends, your entertainments. But I have only you.
Talk to me. Even if I don't understand your words, I do understand your voice when speaking to me.
Be aware that however you treat me, I will never forget it.
Before you swat me, before you strike me, remember that I have teeth that could draw blood. And claws to strike back. And yet I choose not to attack you.
If I don't act right then have me checked to see what is wrong.
Please take care of me when I grow old. You too will grow old.
On the difficult journey, on the ultimate difficult journey, go with me please. Never say you can't bear to watch. Don't make me face this alone. Everything is easier for me if you are there. Because I love you so.
Take a moment today to thank God for your pets. Enjoy and take good care of them. Life would be a much duller, less joyful thing without God's critters. Pass this on.
