Can I please ask why neither are neutered?

[smudgley]

Pregnancy starts to show from around 6weeks usually - not a couple of days....

[calismum]

best bet would be to take them to the vet and find out for sure - then maybe book them in to get speyed and casrtated?

Why have 2 cats of opposite sex and not get them neutered. :? I think a trip to the vet is best and definitely get them neutered asap! Sorry, but this makes me so mad. :mad:

...? Fat or Pregnant?...

I thought she's seen my pic and was being personal! :lol:
but seriously, get them checked out and neutered please. No sense in bringing wee kits into the world unprepared and unwanted! :roll:

I would advise to take her to the vets to be scanned. Pregnancy in cats becomes more evident at about 3 wks. Normally other signs of pregnancy in cats are enlargement of nipples also they may look more red in colour. Abdominal swelling, maternal like behaviour - purring more. She may also start 'nesting'. The gestation period only last 63-65 days so you need to decide if you are able to have the kittens. If you don't want this happening again I suggest getting her spayed or the male castrated. You can speak to your vet about this. Hope this helps. Please also consider her age, if she is senior it's not the best idea to let her go through the pregnancy!

Pleae take them to the vets, and have them neutered...if you could see the 3 kittens I have now, who were dumped lived outside for weeks, you would not consider letting her have kittens...

Seriously, I have two cats of opposite sex and the boy is neutered and the girl will be too as soon as she's a bit older, Ocean was done the other week at 7 months as I didn't want kittens!!!!! Take her to the vets! How old are they both?!?!
