Why isn't my pregnant cat's belly swollen? Could it be one kitten?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

My cat has all the changes of a pregnant cat and except for the swollen tummy one and it’s about 8 week since when I believe she might have gotten pregnant. Is it possible that a cat doesn’t have a swollen abdomen when pregnant could it be cuz she only has one kitten? Thanks

Hi, the abdomen could be just slightly swollen if having just one kitten, if this is the case, delivery might also be more difficult. Please feel free to repost the question with your cat picture and if you want can also type in Italian I will understand you . Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach !
