How can I tell if my cat is pregnant?

Common ways to tell whether a cat is pregnant: around one month in, gently slide your hand over her abdomen. If you feel hard lumps, she is very likely pregnant. Be careful with pressure to avoid harming the fetuses.

Alternatively, about a month after mating, take her to a vet for an ultrasound, which is a reliable method. You can also test her urine for chorionic gonadotropin to confirm pregnancy. Once pregnancy is confirmed, supplement her diet appropriately to keep the mother well-nourished and support healthy fetal development.
