I am sitting my brother's (off in Iraq) cat. He brought 2 japanese bobtails from Japan and i vaulenteerd to take care of the female untill he comes home. He had them for a couple months and now i have had her for about a month. She doesnt seem any bigger but a friend of mine was looking at her and said she looked pregnant. I dont know this for a fact and dont know much about cats/ cat breeding. She has been alot more affectionet and demanding my attention where as before she would mind her own business and play with my other cat. Now she fights with my other cat(female/spayed).
It is my brothers cat or i would have spayed her. IS there anyway to tell if she is? perhaps a vet visit it the only way? Reason i haven't taken her to the vet is because there is only 1 and they are VERY expensive($65 just for the visit).

Any help is appreciated.
thanks
Niky.

Well, sometimes it is hard to tell. Usually the female's nipples will get very pink. But after a month you should be able to notice that her sides are filling out. The normal gestation period for cats is 60-65 days.
