If she mated 80 days ago then it is unlikely she is pregnant from that mating as the average gestation is about 65 days. You could have a vet examine her and do an ultrasound or x-rays to see if she is pregnant.

    I suggest you have your female spayed now and your male neutered, if you do not want kittens. If you want kittens, then I suggest you have your queen examined by your vet approximately 22 days after the mating. Your vet will do an ultrasound and should be able to see the fetuses. An x ray can be done around 45 days. Another telltale sign is the enlargement of the nipples and they will turn very pink at around 3 weeks pregnancy, however, this is not a 100% proof of pregnancy. A cat's pregnancy lasts nine weeks or around 63 days.

    Great question! Jazzy won't show any physical signs of pregnant until she is at least a couple of weeks pregnant. I would wait at least 45 days after she mated, and then have her seen by a vet for x-rays. The x-rays will confirm she is pregnant and how many kittens she is carrying.

    She could definitely be pregnant, but it's impossible to know from your timeline how many days along she would be. X rays or ultrasound may be able to give some idea later in the pregnancy. If you don't want the responsibility of caring for and finding homes for the babies, I'd recommend taking her to the vet right away to be spayed. Good luck!
