hi my cat precious was in heat like 2 weeks ago and on the second day there was a male cat in my yard and I thank they mated because she came in and meowed(a loud paned cry)for like 2 hours and she was in pain and now I thank she’s pregnant because she cleans herself allot and she is bulging out like a balloon her nines are red as a tomato an (this is crazy)but she has mood swings allot so what do you thank and any help would be nice

well yes it is quite possible that your cat is pregnant. However the only real way to tell is for a vet to examine her this has to be done properly as the kittens can be damaged )
Usually a cat will only show physical signs such as size and behaviour change when they are near to giving birth.

Can I recommend that you take a look at my web pages here about cats in heat and cat pregnancy, they will be able to answer more of your questions about the whole process. here are the pages
