Is my cat pregnant or in heat? Swollen nipples, licking, crying.

Question

I’m not sure whether my cat is pregnant or on heat. She’s an indoor cat but goes out occasionally(mostly in morning) for about 20 to 30 minuets. She never goes far. Lately her nipples are swollen and pink. And she licks her private area alot and cries to go out all the time(mostly in the morning). As there’s no veterinary clinic in Maldives there’s no way I can confirm whether she’s pregnant or on heat. Pet's info: Cat | Birman | Female | unspayed | 10 months and 8 days old | 3 lbs

HI, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Her belly and mammary glands do not look distended enough to be pregnant unless she is early pregnant (2-4 weeks). I think she might be in heat. I would try to keep her inside as it doesn't take cats very long to get the deed done! Cats are pregnant for 60 days, so if her belly and mammary glands continue to get larger then she is likely pregnant and you'd have kittens 4-6 weeks from now. Good luck!
