What does it mean when a girl cat isn't spayed, 3 toms come & now she is more plump?

My cat is not spayed %26 three toms dropped by three weeks ago. Now she's more plump %26 I found a pink nipple on her stomach and trust me I have never found any of her nipples before. She is also being more affectionate. So I just want to know if my cat is going to have kittens?
Answers:
She was in heat and now she is pregnant. Best thing you can do for your female is get her spayed now. Or as soon after birth as possible. And if you can't do that find her a great that willprovide for her as she should be.
take her to your vet to be sure.
Probably, take her to the vet.
Well, it sounds like your cat is about 5 weeks away from having kittens. And with three toms around, it's possible the litter may have three fathers. Cats are unique in that each kitten (or some of the kittens) in a litter could potentially be from a different father if the breedings all happened in the same heat cycle (a cat's heat cycle is 4-7 days).
Also, if this is her first litter, it will probably be her smallest. Good luck!
No GOOD vet will spay a pregnant cat.. and she sure sounds preggers. No need for a vet until 6 weeks after your new kittens are born---(6 weeks because she cannot be spayed until her kittens are weaned and that doesn't happen till 6 weeks of age)..Vets are expensive and well you probably COULD spay a pregnant cat but it would probably cost 4 or 5 times MORE then it will 6 weeks after delivery---no sense paying 2 vet bills... Soon she will start looking for dark out of the way places to drop her litter. perhaps you might place a cardboard box lined with old towel in each closet in your house that stays open for any length of time.... she should be droping her litter in a couple of weeks or LESS...
Yes your cat is pregant, and she will have her kitten in about 63 days.If this is her first litter she might have up to 5 kittens. My advice would be wait until she has the kittens until they are 6 weeks old them get her spayed. If you get her spayed now while she is pregant it will cost double because they have to do away with the kittens. Just been through this myself and now we have 3 kitten that are 5 weeks old and my cat is off to the vets next week to be spayed because they can fall pregant easily again after breastfeeding kittens. Hope this helps.
If you want the kittens, just take her to the vet to get the definate answer and wait until the kittens are born.

Otherwise, vets can certainly perfrom abortions and desex your cat at the same time, however this will probably cost about double the price of a normal desexing ($200 etc). This may be a better choice for you as $200 now will be far cheaper than the vets bills incurred when looking after a pregnant cat, possible complications, and worming, microchipping and even desexing as many as 7-8 kittens.

Of course, it is your choice though ;)
It's a very good bet that your cat's pregnant. It happened with our cat--she was so young and got so big that I was afraid she couldn't have the kittens so I had the kittens aborted and her spayed...I hated to, but she's sooo sweet.

My suggestion is that as soon as you safely can, after she weans the kittens, is that you have her spayed. We had a cat once that was nursing a litter and pregnant with another!

To coin a phrase, cat's can't add, but they sure can multiply!

Hopefully you can find homes for the kittens--and beware of any tom cats in the area--they'll try to kill the kittens!
Your cat is well and truly pregnant and will probably have the kittens in about 5 weeks.

Take her to the vet to have her spayed now. Yes it will cost more, but you will be saving the money you will have to pay out to make sure she is well fed during the rest of her pregnancy and while she is feeding the kittens, not to mention the cost of caring for the kittens after they are born until they are weaned and then ready to be adopted. Worming, fleaing, special kitten food for them and the lactating mum, etc

She can come into season again just over 6 weeks from the birth of the kittens. So if you dilly dally, when she visits the vet to be spayed and she is in season, you will be charged extra anyway, and may not know it until you go to pick up the cat. At least if you take her now then you know exactly what you are up for.

As for LittleBarb saying no good vet will spay a pregnant cat, it takes a good vet to do it safely.
If this is the cat's first season and litter, she may be not much more than a kitten herself and having the kittens could endanger her wellbeing and safety.

Cats are not unique in having litters fathered by multiple males. Dogs do as well, to name just one other animal.
Yup!!!
it isn't rocket science.your cat is pregnant. Get her spayed ASAP.
I love these questions. Some people are really going to think that you are serious, and try to be "oh-so-helpful".

But in all seriousness, if the toms "dropped by" only 3 weeks ago, your little puss won't be showing much yet. In fact, you wouldn't notice her weight or her nipples unless you were looking (which would indicate that you know exactly what those toms were doing).
