Is my new cat pregnant?
About two and a half weeks ago, I took in a cat from outside. She has all her shots, but I'm not sure if she is fixed. I have noticed that her mood has changed since she came inside. She spends most of her time either asleep on my bed, or pushing things around under my bed. She has recently become very affectionate, and she is eating more. She if "filling out more" in her abdomen area. She was very skinny when I brought her in, so I don't know if she is just coming up to a healthy weight, or if she if pregnant. If she is carrying, This would be about her third week.
The vet said that she had no diseased like worms or feline leukemia. They said nothing about pregnancy, but that was about three weeks ago.
I read online that pregnant cat's nipples become pinker as pregnancy continues. A week ago, I checker hers, and they were very pale, almost white. Now they are a light pink color. Could they have just been white because she was not nourished enough?

Most of these things could be explained by her just becoming more secure in your home. Her behavior when she first came into the house would naturally be more skittish and hesitant, so it would make sense she'd be more affectionate now. Remember, cats sleep 16-18 hours a day and are more active at night. And she could be filling out more now just because she's getting more food than she was outside.
You'd need to see a vet to know for sure if she's pregnant. She should also see a vet to make sure she doesn't have worms and to find out if she's been spayed or not.

She could be and at 3 weeks you can have her spayed. Remember that you rescued her because someones cat had kittens and just let her go.
She may be gaining weight do to the good meals and safe home you are giving her. She may have worms that is very common in outdoor cats. Since she is your cat now, it would be a good idea to take her to the vet for her first check up. Thank you for rescuing her.

what did the vet say when she was vaccinated? some vacs can affect the formation of the kittens so speak to the vet about getting her neutered. It could be worms though its also likely to be she is used to seeing food as an opportunity and feels the need to gobble up everything in sight.
if she's not very pregnant it may be est to get her sorted now. there are so many homeless kittens around anyway so unless you plan to keep them all its not fair.
