What should I do if my cat is in heat?

Method 1: If the cat fails to “keep”, plan to be a cat early. Cats have to grow up and enter the estrus period that gives every owner a headache. Therefore, you need to touch her more, from head to butt, and she will feel more comfortable. Some people say that she should be sterilized. In fact, sterilization is not very harmful to cats. It is just a small operation, but you need to go to a regular hospital. This is why every owner should pay attention to the sexual maturity of cats. Neutering will return cats to their normal living conditions before estrus. Completely correct the incidence of ovarian, uterine, endocrine, testicular, scrotal and other diseases and reduce the chance of male cats getting lost.

Method 2: Cat food that suppresses estrus should not be eaten for a long time, as it will cause nutritional deficiencies. Sexually mature cats generally reach maturity at 6-12 months and begin to go into estrus, with a few going into estrus for several months at night. Just like humans, there is no exact time. It is affected by nutrition, breed, growth environment, individual physiology, psychology and other reasons. The sexual maturity time of each cat is different. Female cats can reach sexual maturity as early as four or five months, or as late as one and a half years old. It is rare for female cats to reach sexual maturity as late as this time. Male cats mature sexually slightly later than female cats.

Method 3: Scientific figures show that if a pair of healthy fertile cats are allowed to breed uncontrolled and arbitrarily, within seven years, their descendants will produce a total of 300,000 cats. Therefore, you can also use drugs that suppress estrus. Do not feed them for a long time, which will cause serious harm. Do not use human contraceptive pills.

Based on the above summary: Studies have shown that the disease rate of pets without sterilization is nearly 40 times higher than that of pets that have been neutered. Especially ovary, uterus, endocrine, testicles, scrotum and other diseases. In addition, cats that have been neutered are docile, affectionate, more loyal to their owners, and help reduce stray animals.

Performance of cats in estrus:

1: During the estrus period, the most common manifestation of male cats in estrus is the so-called "enuresis" behavior. The male cat will stand up, hold its tail high, and spray urine on a vertical object. While spraying urine, the tail will shake. During estrus, the male cat's reproductive system is in a state of congestion.

2: Some male cats will try their best to run away from home and look for reproductive partners outdoors.

3: The most common phenomenon of a female cat in heat is that her temper becomes restless and she often howls loudly, which is completely different from usual. The genitals also suffer from congestion.

4: A few female cats also have the habit of peeing anywhere during estrus.

5: When you stroke the female cat’s back or the part near its genitals, for exampleFor example, at the base of the tail, the female cat will raise its buttocks, swing its tail to one side, lie on the ground and step forward with its hind feet. This is the posture of the female cat ready for mating.

6: The condition of female cats kept indoors will be particularly obvious. If there is no opportunity to mate, the condition will become more serious each time. The estrus period may last for about 20 days, but the interval will be shortened.

7: Pay special attention to the fact that female cats will go into estrus again one month after giving birth. This is the cat’s instinct and natural need.
