Is my unspayed cat pregnant if she's chubby, licking, no swollen teats?

Question

Hello! so i basically have a cat, and she seems a bit chubby. She isn't hanging but shes bulging on the sides. I personally think that shes pregnant, but her teats doesn't seem big, swollen, and she hasn't lost any fur around them. I am confused with which one to go with! she seems to be licking excessively. It would mean a whole lot if you responded! thanks! Pet's info: Cat | Norwegian Forest Cat | Female | unspayed | 1 year and 9 months old | 34 lbs

If she’s unspayed and was outdoors then she’s most likely pregnant. Cats don’t get as much mammary development as dogs and other animals so you may not see changes in the teats and nipples until she gives birth. Also she’s young to be just fat. Generally young cats are more active and don’t become very fat until middle age when they become less active. Outdoor cats are often thinner too since they are more active being outside.
