Why is my cat bleeding after mating? Is she pregnant or in heat?

Question

I have an Orange Tabby cat, she's two years old. My mom and I think she is pregnant. But, we don't feel or see any movement. She is having contractions, but she isn't breathing hard nor has a rapid heart beat. She lives with a male cat, who still tries to impregnate her. But every time he does, she bleeds. She is very happy and comfortable, doesn't seem to be in any pain. Pet's info: Cat | Persian | Female | unspayed | 8 lbs

If Asteria was having contractions, you would see her straining and likely breathing hard. In addition, if she were pregnant, she would not allow your male cat to mate with her. It could be that she is in heat, and that is why the male cat is mating with her. It is not normal for a cat to bleed after mating, however, and even though she doesn't seem to be in any pain, I would have Asteria seen by a vet right away. The vet can diagnose what is causing her symptoms so she can treated.
