It's certainly possible, although it's hard for me to say without examining her, since you don't know for sure that she's even pregnant. Typically, however, cats stop eating for about 24 hours prior to giving birth, and they tend to make a "nest" and they don't walk around much. In order to know for sure if she's pregnant, take her to your veterinarian. He/she can probably palpate the belly and examine the nipples to tell you if Smoke is pregnant. An x-ray of the abdomen, or an ultrasound, will tell you for sure.
