A female cat recently showed up on my porch, so i figured it as a stray and put her in the garage. I was rubbing her tummy and noticed that she was kinda chubby and her nibbles are swollen...could she be pregnant or just have a swollen tummy?

hmm...how swollen is her tummy? If it wasn't pregnancy, I don't know why her nipples would be swollen.
Watch her for the next few weeks and look for odd behavior like nesting and restlessness. If you want to be absolutely sure, you can take her to the vet for an ultrasound. Good luck!

The rescue cat I had got larger nipples during her pregnancy...if this is a stray I think there is a good possibility that she may be pregnant.

Is her tummy a little saggy chubby, or just chubby? She may have a new litter if she has a chubby but slightly saggy tummy. I think a vet check is a good idea.
