How to determine if a cat is pregnant?

When a cat is pregnant, the color of the cat's nipples will change from light pink to dark pink, and due to the hair falling off from the nipples, the nipples will be particularly prominent. A pregnant cat will become lazy and dislike movement.

Pregnancy Test:

In the 2-3 weeks after successful mating, the color of the cat's nipples will change from light pink to dark pink, and due to the hair falling off from the nipples, the nipples will be particularly prominent. A pregnant cat will become lazy and dislike movement. During the first pregnancy, the cat's appetite will also decrease. As the pregnancy progresses, the cat's appetite will gradually increase. The cat's appetite during pregnancy will be three times that of a regular cat.

During the 3-5 weeks of pregnancy, the cat's abdomen will gradually expand. If you go to the hospital for an ultrasound, you can see the approximate size and number of the cat. As the cat's abdomen increases, the cat's movements become slower. The cat dislikes movement, liking to stay in the cat's nest for a long time with its eyes closed.

After a cat has mated, the breeder can determine if the cat is pregnant by some subtle changes in the cat's body. If the breeder does not have enough experience to judge whether the pet cat is pregnant, it is best to take the cat to the clinic and have the veterinarian check if the cat is pregnant. The most scientific and effective method is to undergo an ultrasound examination.

False Pregnancy Problem:

Some cat owners find that their cats are pregnant because the cat's belly is getting bigger every day, the breasts are swollen, the nipples are full, and even milk can be squeezed out. These phenomena are enough to indicate that the queen is pregnant, making the owner very happy and actively preparing for the birth. However, after more than a month, the belly did not show daily expansion but gradually shrank, the breasts did not swell, and the nipples also shrank, everything seemed to return to normal. This is called false pregnancy (false pregnancy).
