My cat mated. What are the first signs of pregnancy and when to tell?

Question

My female cat had sex with my male cat. My female is a year old and my male cat is 4months. When will I know if she is pregnant or not?

Andrea M. Brodie, DVM · Accepted Answer

I suggest you have your female spayed now and your male neutered, if you do not want kittens. If you want kittens, then I suggest you have your queen examined by your vet approximately 22 days after the mating. Your vet will do an ultrasound and should be able to see the fetuses. An x ray can be done around 45 days. Another telltale sign is the enlargement of the nipples and they will turn very pink at around 3 weeks pregnancy, however, this is not a 100% proof of pregnancy. A cat's pregnancy lasts nine weeks or around 63 days.
