She is likely pregnant and I would expect some kittens within the next couple of months. Taking care of a pregnant cat and kittens is costly and time-consuming, so if you happen to not be willing/able to care for and adopt-out kittens, then I would consider getting her spayed sometime soon. For more information about caring for kittens, I recommend reading the articles at the links below. https://vcahospitals.com/know-your-pet/pregnancy-and-parturition-in-cats https://www.petcoach.co/article/new-kitten-101/ I hope that helps and all is well with Sheiva.

    If the pregnant cat is producing milk I would not be overly worried. As long as the kittens are taken care of it doesn't matter by whom. The cat that has not given birth yet may be pregnant or may be having a false pregnancy. If she doesn't deliver soon you should have her checked by a vet. I really recommend you have these cats spayed after they have weaned these kittens. There are millions of kittens/cats that are euthanized each year across the country because there aren't enough homes for them. Please don't continue to contribute to the overpopulation problem. The only people who should be breeding cats are those with purebreds. If you are worried about cost there are multiple low cost spay/neuter clinics in your area including this one: https://spayaz.com/service/spay-neuter/

    Just by looking at Cuddles, it's impossible to say how far along she is in her pregnancy. I would take her into the vet for x-rays to see how far along she is, and the x-rays will tell you how many kittens she is expecting. Best of luck.
