How to tell if my recently adopted stray cat is pregnant with kittens?

Question

We adopted this stray cat recently and we are doubtful that it is pregnant. Please help us identify if we're expecting kittens from Coco if possible from these pictures :). Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | 20 lbs

From these pictures it does appear that Coco’s abdomen is slightly distended. However, there can be many other reasons for abdominal distention such as fluid in the belly, heart disease, false pregnancy and/or intestinal parasites. My best recommendation would be to take Coco in the vet to be examined. This would give you a better idea of her overall health and they may be able to determine if she is pregnant. I hope this helps. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Best of luck.
