By about 3 weeks you should be able to tell, if her nipples have changed, gotten a little bigger and gone red. Cats are pregnant for about 63-65 (about 9 weeks), by about 5-6 she should have been putting on weight and you'll know that she is pregnant.

Usually it takes more than a few weeks to tell if a female cat is pregnant. You will want to start watching for excessive weight gain in what seems to be a rather quick manner. If around her teets you notice some swelling or you notice excessive licking and removal of the fur around that area. Also watch for signs of "nesting", a place where she spends and unusual amount of time in, that she usually wouldn't.
