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.
