Purr-egnancy Countdown: How Long Are Cats Really Pregnant?

So, your feline friend is looking a little rounder than usual? You might be wondering, "How long are cats pregnant?" Get ready for a flurry of tiny paws! The average cat pregnancy, also known as gestation, lasts around **63 days**, or about **9 weeks**.

However, this can vary slightly. Some cats might deliver a few days earlier or later. A healthy range is usually between 58 and 67 days. Keeping a close eye on your cat and noting the date of possible conception can help you anticipate the big day.

Signs of pregnancy include increased appetite, weight gain, and 'morning sickness'. Around three weeks in, her nipples may become more prominent and pink – a sign called 'pinking up'. If you suspect your cat is pregnant, a vet visit is crucial for confirmation and to ensure her health and the health of her future kittens. Happy waiting!
