Pregnancy can be one of the most joyful, stressful, and disruptive times of a person’s life. In all the excitement, it might take you a little while to notice your cat acting strangely. Once you do, you might wonder, can a cat tell when you’re pregnant?
While cats probably don’t recognize the specific condition of pregnancy, they may be able to tell that there’s something different about you. Some cats, like the mellow kitty I owned before my daughter was born, take these changes in stride and simply enjoy snuggling in all the comfy new baby gear. Other cats may display obvious behavior changes.
In this article, you’ll learn some specifics about how cats may be able to tell you’re pregnant and ways to help prepare them for the new baby.
