: I have an indoor/outdoor cat and i think she maybe pregnant.
: what are the signs you look for with out going to the vet.
: worried

Well, the biggest sign is the cat's belly. If it looks rounded, like the cat ate a softball then she's pregnant, most likely. If she appears to be developing milk as in enlarged areas right above the nipples, that's another good sign that giving birth is not far away. Sometimes you can feel the kittens moving inside her belly,but this takes cooperation from the cat if you lay a flat hand on her belly, gently, and just wait to see if you feel anything moving or kicking. Now, if the cat did look like she swallowed a softball and suddenly shows up with a smaller belly, then she has had the kittens somewhere. Finding out where is a little tricky. So if ths happens please post back to this forum for more advice.
