I'm looking for an answer to this question, too. I've taken in a female cat and she does indeed have tapeworms, but she also hasn't gone into heat since I started feeding her outside in December. She used to come around all the time crying to my indoor male cats, so that's how I know. We haven't gotten her dewormed yet, as we don't know if the deworming treatments could harm the kittens. Her belly is firm, and I can't feel any lumps in it. She only has three nipples that MIGHT be ready for kittens, but they aren't engorged at all, just a little crusty and longer.
If anyone could help WITHOUT saying "Go to the vet," I'd appreciate it.
If your cat is displaying signs of being pregnant, such as a swollen abdomen, weight gain, and nipple enlargement, it is likely she is pregnant. However, if you notice symptoms like weight loss, diarrhea, or visible worms in her feces, it may indicate a worm infestation. It is best to consult a veterinarian for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
