Pet's info: Cat | Bengal | Female | unspayed | 3 years and 6 months old
Hi I have a pregnant bengal cat she is 63 days today. Her nipples pinked up at 3 weeks and were very large, when I stroked her nipples they seemed to change colour, become lighter almost see through at the tips. Over the last few days it seems as if her nipples have become a bit smaller and less pink. She has not really increased in size around her belly so I was expecting a very small litter 1-2 kittens. She’s is sleeping a lot and today seems as if she has lost her appetite.

Gestation is 63 to 65 days on average. Make sure she has a box where she can have her babies. Her nipples will likely leak milk within 12-24 hrs of giving birth. There is still time so do not panic yet. Cats are pretty good at having babies, even when it is her first time. Do not disturb her much, the more stressed she is (constantly checking is stress...) the more likely she will delay having her babies.
