Don't want to start a heated debate (& Kay - I am not disagreeing with you personally) but I have had this "conversation" many times on a popular dog forum (no not DW - the other one

) that I don't believe that any vet however experienced can palpate a cat or dog to diagnose pregnancy. I know vets say they can, but I strongly & firmly believe this is nonsense.

No offence intended, no argument wanted.

Have had my vets diagnose pregnancy by this method and by listening to their heartbeats, Smudgley but even they said it isn't always possible.

i think i agree with Smudgley here always thought its a lot of stuff to feel though for such small items.

if the cat will let you pick her up Pat then you might be able to feel her nipples though her coat, that will save you looking, Scarlott has a very think coat but i can feel hers now without looking for them (not that i did after she pinked up) and i can even feel the ones at the top by her arms, before u wouldnt of felt them at all
and Scarlott still has 3 weeks left
