Its quite possible, especially if she was in heat when she escaped.

so your cat if she is pregnant will b about 4weeks there is a couple of ways to tell. her nipples will be more pink than usual and you will find the fur around them has started to fall out another way is her stomach will be more rounded than usual a visit to the vet will be able to tell you if she is as he will do what is called palpation of the stomach to see if he can feel any kittens in there keep us posted of her progress

Animals are amazing that way. Mice can get pregnant at 5 weeks and about 2 hours after giving birth to a litter.

I hope you will consider getting your cat spayed after the litter is born. Please find good homes for the little guys!

My cat got pregnant at 5 1/2 months old. Remember the days when vets wanted to wait till they were six months old to spay them. It was the first time she had gone into heat.

My vet won't spay/neuter any sooner than 4 months. I've had 2 of mine done at 4 months. Im sure it varies from vet to vet. Some of the shelters are doing it even earlier.
