You can try to feel for moving kittens by placing your hand on her belly. That is about the only way you can tell without seeing your vet. Also if her mammary glands get enlarged this is another clue. Feed her kitten food now if you suspect that Nibbles is pregnant to help her produce an appropriate milk supply, and continue this diet until she weans all the kittens (around 3-4 weeks of age).
