Hi All,

Here is a link for some of you who are no familiar with my story on Pumpkin the young adult from Pittsburgh, PA.

Well I've been doing a lot of reading on pregnancy in cats and I'm really not sure if Pumpkin is or isn't.

I just had her at the vets about 1 week ago and the vet didn't say anything so I'm just not sure. I'm going to call my one other vet and see if there is any easy way of telling since she's still little but it seems she has a semi-firm mid-section but she's little so she might just be gaining weight.

The vet gave her a worm pill as well (even though I didn't see any signs of worms).

So any advice would be great... I'm sorta thinking at this point what did I get myself into I already have 6 cats in a 1 bedroom apartment with a foster now in the bathroom that may be pregnant.

WE ARE PRAYING THAT PUMPKIN IS NOT WITH KITTEN, AS SHE IS PROBABLY TOO YOUNG TO SAFELY HAVE KITTENS.
SCRAPPY 2 WAS ONLY 5 MONTHS OLD WHEN SHE HAD HER KITTEN AND SCRAPPY 3 WAS SADLY STILL BORN.
WE ARE PRAYING FOR GOOD NEWS FOR PUMPKIN.
BLESS YOU FOR HELPING THAT KITTEN IN NEED!

Thanks, Pumpkin actually already had a litter before and then her parents tossed her outside when she was in heat so I don't know if she is pregnant or not. Pumpkin is ~1 year and 1 month old but I just don't know if she is or isn't yet.

is it ok to give worm pills on pregnant cats?too late anyway,but i'm sure it's ok,right?
I hope she isn't though...that would be a lot of homes to find.

What makes you think she might be pregnant ???

[Anikaca77]

Well she appears to be a little firm the mid section of her body. I've been doing some research but I'm not sure if I can tell if she is or not.

I'm just looking for some advice from someone who might have had a cat early on so they know the signs of a pregnant cat.....I know one time I rescued a pregnant cat (Mommy) and she I could tell because in 2 weeks she was about ready to brust well according to the vets.
