If it has only been 12 days you probably wouldn't see many changes, but people will occasionally report a decrease in appetite. In a few more days you might notice that her nipples appear larger and more pink than usual. Some veterinarians can palpate a cats uterus and diagnose pregnancy after about 15 days, and at about 16-21 days heartbeats can be seen on ultrasound.
