My cat mated during heat. What are the chances she's pregnant now?

My female cat went into heat without me realizing. My male cat mated with her throughout the day while I was away and when I arrived home I split them up right away. I’ve booked his neuter, but I’m wondering what the chances are of her being pregnant now. They have not mated since two days ago. I wasn’t sure at first what was happening until I heard her growling very loud and witnessed her rolling around frantically. Any advice would be helpful on if she may be pregnant or not

It's probable that she is pregnant. I recommend getting her spayed as soon as possible because if she is pregnant, the surgery is more difficult and risky. You can opt to wait and see, but cats are induced ovulators, meaning that the mating triggers ovulation, increasing the chances of pregnancy.

Cats are spontaneous ovulators so every time an intact male cat locks with her the spine on his penis stimulates her to ovulate and most time she will become pregnant. This is why cats reproduce often and have a lot of litters. If you do not want a pregnant female I would recommend getting Lovely spayed. Hope that helps
