When your cat is in an interestingposition, then you probably want to see direct or indirect confirmation of this fact. Actually for you it is in any case: and if you passionately do not want to add to the cat family, and if you look forward to the appearance of the offspring of your pet. It should be noted that the signs of pregnancy in cats can be obvious and implicit. And in some cases, the owners before the births are not able to notice any signs. And more it is necessary to say that the first three weeks of pregnancy such signs can not be determined even by veterinarians. However, experienced koshatniki still with a high probability of being able to see confirmation of the interesting situation of his pitomitsy. Mostly it concerns the behavior of a cat, but changes in its appearance also will not escape from their keen eye. Let's look at those signs that will make it clear whether your cat is pregnant or not. 
Changes in behavior
As we said, the first three weeksalmost no changes indicating that your cat is pregnant, is not observed. True, if until now your kisa actively demanded a cat, and having received the opportunity of a love rendezvous, calmed down, then, most likely, she achieved the desired goal (became pregnant). However, if in seven or ten days the crying cries of your beauty resumed, then the pregnancy probably did not come. So, a complete loss of interest in the opposite sex is a likely sign of pregnancy. The fact that the cat has become pregnant, is also shown by her aggressive behavior towards any other cats living with her in the same house. Although in the second half of pregnancy this behavior changes to the exact opposite: the cat becomes affectionate and tender not only in relation to other animals, but also to the person. As for changes in eating habits, the first few weeks the cat eats as before: the same number and the same. But with the third week of pregnancy, she may have an aversion to some (previously habitual and beloved) foods, as well as morning sickness and vomiting, which is an indicative sign of pregnancy of a cat. The obvious pregnancy of your cat is also evidenced by its calmer behavior, longer sleep and increased appetite. But these signs appear already in the second half of pregnancy. By the end of pregnancy, cats become so calm and apathetic that they prefer to stay at home even if they have access to the street. More and more time they spend in a dream or in a half-sleep: it is a dream that takes most of the life of a pregnant cat. There are no other changes in the behavior of the cat expecting offspring. Yes, they simply do not. However, one of the behavioral signs of pregnancy is still worth mentioning. Even if the external signs of an interesting situation in your cat is not observed (and sometimes it is), then by the end of pregnancy, she will necessarily begin to show concern and look for a place for the upcoming birth. This is also an exceptionally clear sign of pregnancy in a cat, and the behavior itself is called nesting. In this behavior natural instinct of the cat is shown. Approximately two weeks before the birth, the cat begins to look for a place for a "nest" - a comfortable, quiet and warm place, where she will have to rest and spend the first weeks of their life with the kittens. The main criterion (from the cat's point of view) of selecting a place for a nest is safety. Therefore, it is possible that your kitty will begin to push hard into the cupboards, try to equip such a place on bookshelves and in other places difficult for you. This is the most suitable time to introduce a cat to the box prepared for it for delivery, choose (with the help of the cat) a suitable place for its location and convince the future mother that this box is most suitable for its "nest" . If you do not, the cat will self-equip the "delivery room" and it is possible that in your bed. 
Changes in appearance
Again, the first three weeks of absolutely noexternal signs of pregnancy in a cat is not observed. But after the twenty-first day of bearing offspring, the cat has the first noticeable changes visible to the host. However, to see them, you need to try. It is about changing the color and size of the nipples of the future mummy. In a normal healthy cat, the nipples practically do not differ in color from the skin on the abdomen. They can be slightly darker in the birth of cats, but they still retain their flesh color. The nipples of the pregnant cat turn pink. This change is particularly noticeable in primiparous cats, although the intensity of the color and the degree of nipple enlargement depends on the breed and age of the cat, as well as on its individual characteristics. By the way, not all the nipples can turn pink, but only some of them. As for the increase in the size of the nipples of a pregnant cat, it can be quite insignificant and almost invisible. And yet, in most cases, the nipples not only become pink, but also swell noticeably. From this time (third week of pregnancy), the belly of a pregnant cat begins to grow. However, at first it is almost invisible, and only from the second half of pregnancy the kittens begin to grow intensively, and, consequently, the stomach of the cat that hatches them increases noticeably and rapidly. In fairness, it should be noted that the size of the belly depends on the number and size of the fruit. Therefore, with a small pregnancy, the size of the cat's abdomen can almost never change. And yet in the fifth week this sign of pregnancy of cats becomes obvious. If there are a lot of kittens, that mother just swells in front of her. The abdomen becomes round, large and taut, and even you can see the wiggling of the fruit. If by this time the stomach of the cat does not increase much, then, most likely, she just hatch a small number of young. But if you put your hand on such a small tummy, you can feel how the kittens move there. Approximately one week before the birth, the belly of the pregnant cat takes a pear-shaped form, and the nipples noticeably hang, and colostrum appears in them. If at this time, slightly squeeze the nipples with your fingers, then they will have a translucent droplet of white or yellowish color - this is the colostrum. In general, all these signs indicate that your cat is pregnant. If you do not observe any of them, then you should go to the veterinary clinic, where with the help of ultrasound, you will accurately determine whether the cat is pregnant or not pregnant. But in any case, to pay a visit to a veterinarian is necessary. Firstly, not always signs of pregnancy of cats can be trusted (especially behavioral), and secondly, a cat's examination will do her good and prevent many possible complications.
