Symptoms of cats in estrus:

1. The female cat will continuously chirp loudly, twist her body and rub around on the floor, leaving behind the unique signs of estrus. The smell shows and shows affection to the male cat, and every time the cat is petted, the cat will raise its hips.

2. Male cats will roar when they are in estrus. The sound is not as loud as that of female cats. They will respond to the sounds and smells of female cats in estrus and make chirping sounds. In addition, male cats in estrus will also surround female cats and fight with other male cats, and the frequency of fights will also increase.

3. The cat suddenly often raises its butt very well, or even points its butt towards you. The cat is probably in heat. Pet owners can pat the base of the cat's tail with their hands or stroke the cat's vagina to help the cat relieve its discomfort.

4. During the period of estrus, cats will often roll on the ground to relieve stress. They also want to be coquettish and beg to be petted by their owners. At this time, the pet owner can spend more time with the cat, pet it, and reward it with some of its favorite freeze-dried snacks to distract its attention.

5. During the period of estrus, most cats will have a loss of appetite and lose interest in things. You can feed the cat some of its favorite foods. Choosing a cat food with good palatability can increase the cat’s appetite.

6. When a male cat is in heat, he will urinate everywhere in the room to mark his territory.

7. Cats drink more water during estrus. Moreover, some cats will try their best to run away from home. Cats jumping off buildings or getting lost are mostly because they are in heat.

8. The cat suddenly becomes close to its owner and likes to hang around you and rub against your legs repeatedly.

Care methods for cats in heat:

1. Close the doors and windows tightly. Cats in estrus lose their minds and have no so-called safety awareness. They will only run outside as hard as they can, and there is a high chance of getting lost. If a cat gets lost during estrus, it is basically impossible to find it.

2. Spend more time with your cat. At this time, the cat will become more clingy, and needs more companionship from the cat, playing together, and trying to consume the cat's strong energy.

3. Parents who do not want to breed their cats, but also want to make their cats less painful, can take their cats to be sterilized after they are in heat.
