Feline False Pregnancy
False feline pregnancy is when a cat shows signs of pregnancy, however, the cat is not pregnant at all.
Although the most common symptom or sign of feline pregnancy is pink swollen nipples, however, although rare, go through pseudo pregnancy.
The most common reason for false pregnancy is that the cat may have mated with a neutered male and thus causing an egg to be released. The cat then goes through all the normal hormonal symptoms of pregnancy without actually being pregnant.
In some cases, cats will "mother" and nurture a stuffed animal or one of their toys as though it was their own baby.
If you suspect that your cat is actually pregnant after a few weeks, it's always advised to check with a certified vet before hand.
Luv Sheila & Freedom (my black lab whom is male and can’t experience false pregnancy).
