In the first month of pregnancy there are usually no noticeable changes in the appearance of a pregnant cat although it common for their temperament to change. When a cat becomes pregnant she usually will become quieter than she was before. She will also usually sleep more than normal.

One of the first physical signs of a pregnant cat will be when their nipples turn from a pale color to brighter more reddish color. The hair around the nipples will also start to clear away.

Starting around the 5th week of pregnancy the pregnant cat will begin to increase in size.

Although it may make common sense the size of the cat during pregnancy does not actually reveal much about the amount of kittens inside of her.

How long is a cat's pregnancy? Between 60 to 70 days with 65 days being average.
