Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! The best way to find out if your cat is pregnant is to take her to the veterinarian for a physical examination. In addition, you need to have the date of when she was last in heat and dates that she could have bred. Based upon the physical examination and history, the veterinarian may recommend x-rays and possibly an ultrasound of the abdomen.
