How much does it cost to take your cat to the vet to see if it is pregnant?

• i don't want to get all the stuff for my cats pregnancy and it turns out a false pregnancy and if you don't know a estimate of how much it will cost then will you tell me some signs of pregnancy my cat is like getting fat and is having a big craving of food and she starting to get lazy are these some signs of pregnancy oh and one more thing where are you spose to feel the little babys in her tummy

• Answer:

  It is easy for anyone to just get on your case about the cat not having been fixed already but, I also know their are circumstances that, even with good intentions, ends up with a pregnant cat anyway. I have to at least give you credit for being observant of your cat, concerned about her potential condition AND taking on the responsability of preparing to care for her until you can find homes for the babies...if that does indeed turn out to be the case. SO.. to answer your question best I can...First thing you need to think about is this. When was the last time your cat was in heat and was there any possability she was "exposed" to an unneutered male cat? The second question is, has she ever been pregnant before? If she hasnt been pregnant before, check her nipples. About 3 weeks into a cats pregnancy they will start to "perk up" and start turning a little pink. If those signs are there and you would like absolute confirmation you can have a vet do an ultra sound on her to see what she has going on (or not). The cost for that can vary but, the vet I use in Alabama charges be 90.00 for an ultra sound. It was worth it to me becuase I wanted an absolute confirmation either way also. If she is, you wont be able to see the babies moving around until about maybe the the 6th week or so of her pregnancy. BUT, you can probably feel them about the 5th week or so.Hope this helps and good luck. By the way. If she is... immediately start feeding her kitten food. It has higher nutriants that she will need for her growing babies and let her eat as much as she wants :) Yes, getting her spayed after wards (or as soon as possible if she isnt pregnant) would be a good idea ;)
