Sometimes a mating doesn't take, and the cat doesn't get pregnant. It could also be due to a health problem, such as an infection of the uterus called a pyometra. I would take her into the vet for an exam to make sure she is healthy. Cats go into heat multiple times a year, so if she didn't get pregnant this time, she could possibly get pregnant her next heat.
