Spring is a breeding season, and many animals choose to give birth to offspring in spring. Anyone who raises cats or knows about cats knows that although cats can go into estrus all year round, they still mostly go into estrus in spring. Spring is the best mating and childbearing season for cats. Cat owners must pay attention to it and focus on it. Take care of your own cat.

Female cats in heat

Female cats usually go into estrus 7-8 months after birth, and the first time they go into estrus is 1 year old at the latest. This may vary depending on the cat’s breed and living environment. Although a female cat in estrus does not bleed like a dog, it is obviously different from usual and can be easily noticed by the owner. Female cats in heat will be restless and lose their appetite. It rubs against the owner's feet and makes a meowing sound that upsets the male cat, which is commonly known as "Cat Meowing Spring" to attract male cats. Urinate small amounts in the room. While walking, it rubs its butt on the floor, squats with its tail raised, arches its waist, makes a low cry, and assumes a mating posture. In the world of cats, female cats must choose male cats. If a male cat that she doesn't like comes close to her, the female cat will make an angry cry and lie on the ground to prevent him from succeeding. Even if an immature male cat approaches a female cat, the female cat will ignore it.

The performance of male cats in estrus

Male cats like to urinate everywhere when they are in heat. This is to leave their scent in a wider range so that the opposite sex can find them smoothly. At the same time, male cats will also become anxious and restless. They will try their best to run away from home and go outdoors to find their mating partners. This must be closely monitored to prevent cats from escaping. For cats that have always been free-range, supervision should be strengthened at this time, because male cats will fight for female cats. Cat claws are long and hooked. When the skin is scratched, the wound will be deep and it is easy to become infected and suppurative. When the cat returns from an outing, owners should check it carefully to avoid worsening of the wound due to failure to detect it in time.

If you don’t want your cat to get pregnant, have it neutered as soon as possible. The period from the end of winter to the beginning of summer is the cat's estrus period. 5-10 days each time. If they do not mate, they will come into estrus again after 2 or 3 weeks. If they are not allowed to mate for a long time, their hormones will be out of balance and the intervals between estrus will be shortened, and they will continue to go into estrus. So if you don’t want your cat to breed, you should have it neutered as soon as possible.
