My cat was in heat, outside. Is her disinterest a sign of pregnancy?

Female cats will only mate when they are in heat, and they show signs of being in heat by being very vocal, affectionate, lifting her tail up, and wanting to go outside all the time to find males to mate with which to mate. If Mochi isn't show any signs of being in heat, then she will not have mated. Should she be in heat, there really isn't a way to tell if she mated or not. You could see some dried saliva on the back of her neck, as males may grab there with their mouth when mating. Otherwise, I would wait four weeks, then take her into the vet for an exam. The vet will be able to diagnose if she is pregnant or not, which would be very likely if she mated. I hope this helps!

It's probable that she is pregnant. I recommend getting her spayed as soon as possible because if she is pregnant, the surgery is more difficult and risky. You can opt to wait and see, but cats are induced ovulators, meaning that the mating triggers ovulation, increasing the chances of pregnancy.

Hello, if Lacey got out and is no longer going into heat, it is very likely that she may be pregnant. Normal pregnancy in cats is about 65 days, give or take a few. In the later stages of pregnancy you will see her abdomen become enlarged and she may develop enlarged mammary glands as well. These signs would be highly consistent with being pregnant. Alternatively since it has been 2 months, she should be able to undergo an x-ray to see if there are any kittens that she could be carrying. This can be done by having her examined with your family veterinarian. Hope this helps and best of luck.

Lovely would only mate with the male cat if she was in heat, so if they mated, then yes she was in heat. Since they mated, it is highly likely she is pregnant not, and it should be fine to return the male cat to your neighbor.

If you are sure your cat has been bred successfully and [a pregnancy](https://www.petcoach.co/article/pregnancy-diagnosis-caring-for-a-pregnant-cat/) is confirmed, it is a good idea to schedule an appointment with your veterinarian for care. While some discharge may be normal during pregnancy, bleeding or other discharge from the vaginal region that is discolored may indicate an infection or other complication to pregnancy which should be addressed by your vet. As cats are induced ovulators, it may also be that she was not bred successfully during her previous heat and come back into heat. Cats will continued to cycle in and out of heat while "in season" and so she may be ready to be bred again. However, it is still a good idea to schedule a veterinary appointment to make sure there are not any problems or health issues that are preventing a successful breeding. If the mating was accidental or unwanted, consider having her [spayed](https://www.petcoach.co/article/spaying-ovariohysterectomy-the-benefits-in-cats/) after the litter is delivered or weaned.

Yes, she will because female cats ovulate just when they mate, so the chances of her getting pregnant when mating is close to 100%. The way to prevent pregnancy is to have her spayed, if not keep her indoors and spay any males that could come in contact with her. Male surgery is normally less invasive and cheaper and perhaps something to consider if kittens are newborns.In 6 weeks time you could have her neutered. She could also be neutered sooner if really necessary, but it is a bit more risky in terms of surgery for herself and for the kittens. Hope this helps !

She is likely still in heat. The heat cycle in cats lasts about a week on average but can be as short as 1 day or as long as 2-3 weeks. Mating triggers ovulation and it may take several matings for Kalifa to become pregnant.
