Cat acting weird, help!

Im new here. Im trying to find some answers about my cats weird behavior. In the last few weeks she has been eating alot, asking for more food when she is done too. Then this week she has become very attached to me. This means laying on my lap ALL day, even sleeping right next to my face at night when she used to sleep at the foot of the bed. She is getting fatter, which I thought was due to her eating more, BUT she was sneaking out a while back and my hubby did say he saw another cat in the yard after her sneaking out escapades. So now Im wondering if maybe she could be pregnant. Also I should add that when she is laying on me she is purring like crazy and breathing heavier (this is just today, as I am typing) And this morning she has been all over the dog attacking him if he gets close. We have had the dog for almost a year, so he is not new to her. And they got along fine before, but today she is tearing him up. (no he is not bleeding, but he is running and crying as she chases him) The fighting is totally not like her at all. (she just jumped off my lap as soon as he came down the steps and chased him back up, hitting him with her paws) She is most definetly not in heat, when she is in heat she loves the dog even more than usual. Im thinking I need to call the vet, but wanted to try and find some info online first. Also I should add her nipples are much more obvious. I just dont know what is up with her! Thanks in advance! :thumbs up

Sounds like she's asking you to get her spayed.

A cat in heat who gets outside is definitely pregnant.

She is most definetly not in heat, when she is in heat she loves the dog even more than usual.

No point asking why she wasn't spayed and is allowed to be in heat all the time, but you can get her spayed right now.

The overflow of dumped kittens at this time of year is horrendous, and trying to find responsible homes (homes who will SPAY AND NEUTER) for yet another 4, 5 or 6 kittens will be close to impossible,

Are you kidding me? Is this the first time she has been pregnant? Ofcourse she is pregnant! Get that kitty spayed!!! It is in a cat's instinct to mate when they are in heat. In other words, your girl is going to go out looking for the horniest Tom cat she can find.
I volunteer for an organization and we rescued 12 pregnant mommas a few months ago. Out of those 12 mom's, we have 56 kittens!!!!! Plus we have another 50+ who need homes already. By all means, spay your pets!
