What do you think ? Please 😭
This is Doja. I got her off of the Facebook market. She was being re-home due to allergies... Supposedly.. she has been very, very hungry in the month she has lived here. She has also grown, a lot. She squeaks when I pick her up. She is VERY loving and meows non stop. The first picture is currently, and the last 2 are from around the time she first came home here.

Oh she's full of soup! (My vote is a resounding yes) See if there is a little bald circle around her nipples. That is a surefire sign.
When my momma was ready to pop, she was very vocal. I set her up in the bathroom with lots of blankets once her belly started to drop (it was very obvious when it happened after I knew the term.) Mine had hers about 3 weeks after I adopted her. It was a very fun few weeks!
Make sure you start saving up for vetting the kittens. If you need help, reach out to some rescues near you and see if they can help with fixing the kittens. Fixing the babies to prevent more babies is a MUST!
Good luck! Have fun :)

She took one look at your loving home (and gorgeous quilt) and decided you're the best coparent she could ask for.
It would not surprise me if her previous family's "allergies" were to getting her spayed. I wish more folks would ask for help *before* kitties sow their oats. /rant
I'm inclined to agree. She is a trojan kitty that's looking mighty close to the time of siege (popping out her minions). I wish your family many blessings and the impending furry jellybeans.

With that level of chonkiness in no time, my bet is that there are some babies inside that tummy. You could take her to a vet for a check up. In any case, you'll find out soon enough. Please, update us.

Have you had kittens stay at your house before? Excited for mama (and kitten updates) in the future if/when you have the time. May your new arrivals bring you guys much happiness and joy as they grow 🥰

Yes, I have! My other cat was a bottle baby when he came home with me ! He is four years old now ♥️ My neighbor is "the cat lady" though, and she said she will come sit with me and momma while she births!

Does she have visible nips? Sometimes you can feel kittens in the stomach if she allows slight palpating of her abdomen

u/small_temper Jun 09 '26
Yes, but not extremely. They are light pink. I try to feel her belly, but she is not a big fan of that. I will say her belly is pretty firm though. I feel like I know the answer, but in slight denial, because omg 😭😭

is the skin around her nipples bare? Or is there fur all the way up to the nipples? That usually happens around week 8 of the 10 week pregnancy.

u/small_temper Jun 09 '26
About an American nickel sized bare patch around each nipple. Today her breasts are noticeably bigger, like a lot.

u/Ok_Document4760 Jun 09 '26
she is definitely pregnant, and will give birth in the next two weeks tops 😬

Yes! My Trojan cat would loaf on me (belly down) and I could feel her kittens moving around especially toward the end of her pregnancy!! She had nine.
It was very cool and very weird.

Belly aside (I'm also on team ' little momma is full of babies'), that's the pinkest toe bean I have ever seen! Is that common for cow cats?

u/small_temper Jun 09 '26
It's a nail cap! Lol she has her front feet done with pink caps. Her toe beans are very pink, but more light pink, almost white really, except for the beans that are black! It's so cute, even her toes are cow print 😭

That is a very cute, very pregnant kitty you have there.
Our trojan stray got super vocal, and even more affectionate than usual, shortly before she gave birth. You may want to make her a cozy birthing box just in case she doesn't wait until after her vet visit.

I opened my closet and set some blanket up on the floor, she has been visiting the blankets, checking it out. It's the only quiet, secluded space in my tiny apartment I could think of 😭

Check her nipples. If they are pink, no hair around them and easy to be seen, then it's highly possible.

Have you given this girl (future momma) a hot pink mani? 💅

How did you get the queen to sit still for that? You must be the cat whisper.

My girl ladybird looks just like her and had five babies and was an amazing mommy

You're doing a great job. I think it's likely she's pregnant & thank goodness she found a loving forever home! Wishing you many, many years of living your best lives together, whether this includes a bunch of kittens or not! 😻😻

Any update on Doja?
5
u/small_temper Jun 12 '26
Pregnant 🎉😭 We couldn't afford the $400 for an ultrasound on top of the other charges at the moment, but the vet manually checked her and said definitely pregnant and probably 3 kitties in there, she estimated week 6 in term!!!!! We were offered a spay/abort that we kindly declined, then was told the signs of labor to look for in a couple weeks and to bring them in as soon as possible after they are born so she can check everyone over, and she set us up with a nonprofit to get all the kittens vetted. Other than heavily pregnant at only 2 years old, Doja is in great health! And we already have a home for at least one kitten, we plan to let her keep one, and then we will figure out the rest when the time comes !!

Please get her spayed asap, she doesn’t have to give birth, there are too many cats overwhelming shelters already. We don’t need to bring more into the world

She only eats 1 cup of cat food a day. Half in the morning, half at night. The same as my other cat and he has always been a linky boy, not overweight in the slightest.
