Any Idea How Pregnant This Cat Is?

[K.J.]

Long story short, I've been asked to foster a pregnant cat. She was up for a vet visit yesterday but the shelter didn't tell me how far along she was. Any clues?

She looks very fat.

she looks like she still has a few weeks, when she is a couple of days off, she will get waxy caps on her teats, and her flank area will start to appear hollow (as the babies start to move into position to be born). If you really want to get scientific, if you take her temperature several times a day, her temp will drop 6-10 hours before her contractions start. Hope this helps, keep us posted!
