Female cats howl when they are in heat. The time of howling is uncertain; cats may howl during the day or at night. Cats meow mainly to attract the attention of male cats. This phenomenon will last for about 3 to 7 days, and the howling sound is similar to that of a child. Cat howling often disturbs people, so people often neuter cats to stop them from howling in heat.

How often does a female cat go into estrus?

Female cats will go into estrus every 2 to 3 months, and each estrus lasts about a week. Cats are seasonal animals that have multiple estruses. Spring and autumn are the peak periods of estrus for cats, usually from May to June and September to November. However, the number of times of estrus is also related to the breed, age, and living environment of the female cat, and cannot be generalized. The symptoms of a female cat during estrus usually make her very uncomfortable, such as friction, rolling, frequent meowing, etc., and some even urinate all over the floor. If the owner does not intend to let the female cat give birth, it is recommended that the female cat be sterilized in time. But if you want a female cat to have children, it is best to mate her cat during her second heat. Because the female cat is only sexually mature when she goes into heat for the first time, and her body is not yet mature. If the female cat becomes pregnant during her first estrus, it can easily lead to dystocia.
