Another outdoor cat update.

I took her to a quick vet check-up Saturday, and the vet agreed that she's pregnant, and guesses that she'll deliver "sometime within the next 30 days". Wow. Way to go out on a limb, there. The vet did say that kittens weren't imminent, as the Alien Cat has yet to show any mammary development. No guess as to number of kittens without doing an x-ray, something I thought was unnecessary. The vet also thought that the cat is about 5 or 6 years old, based on tartar buildup and the like.

The Outdoor Cat was not pleased by the trip, the cat carrier, or the vet inspection, and when she was released back into the torture chamber, she made a beeline for the back of the closet (where she'd slept the first night, although she's slept out in plain sight the other nights). Poor, unhappy kitty.
