My 4-year-old female Teddy is free-roaming; lately her breasts enlarged, nipples turned pink, and abdomen grew larger. Is she pregnant?
The signs look like pregnancy: early swelling, vulvar discharge, clinginess, bigger appetite, sleepiness, less activity. But false pregnancy mimics real pregnancy, so it is hard to tell. False pregnancy comes from long heat causing hormone imbalance or poor mating and self-resolves. Confirm with abdominal ultrasound; if pregnant, gestational sacs show and due date can be estimated.

What are the signs a mother cat shows before giving birth?
Before giving birth, a female cat usually shows signs such as restlessness, nesting, pacing in circles, reduced appetite, lying on her side, and crying out in pain. A cat's pregnancy lasts about 58–65 days, and a small amount of milk begins to secrete 2–3 days before delivery, with swollen, red nipples. Just before birth, the cat's temperature drops about 1°C and then returns to normal; if a watery or slightly bloody discharge appears at the vulva, the cat is about to deliver.
