When cats are hunting something such as a bug, they may chatter. However if your cat's belly is distended or you think she may be pregnant or ill, it is best to seek out veterinary care. Your vet can determine if there is a pregnancy and check for other causes of distended bellies such as internal parasites which require treatment.
