Both male and female cats are in heat, but they always react differently. The most common behavior of male cats is enuresis when they are in estrus. As everyone should know, female cats will be irritable and shout non-stop. The sound is like a child crying, which is different from the usual sound. So what should we pay attention to when cats are in heat?

1. During the estrus season, appropriately reduce the cat’s food intake

As the saying goes, "Keep warm and think about lust." Cats are also like this. They will have some thoughts when they have eaten and drank enough and have nothing to do. Therefore, when the estrus season comes, appropriately reduce the cat's food intake to make the cat less full. , increase the cat's activity and divert the cat's attention. The cat will be tired and hungry and will have much less thoughts about being in heat. However, if it excessively affects appetite, after repeated several times, the cat's weight will drop rapidly, and its resistance will also decrease, leading to other diseases.

2. Taboos during estrus

There are also foods that cats cannot eat during estrus. For example, onions can destroy red blood cells in cats; bones of poultry and fish can hurt the cat’s mouth and stomach; sweets can cause tooth decay in cats and can easily lead to obesity; raw meat must be cooked if it contains parasites; Cuttlefish and octopus are not easy to digest, and should not be eaten regularly; abalone and conch can cause photosensitivity, dermatitis, and have an impact on cats’ ears.

3. Appropriately strengthen the control of cats

1. Punish appropriately

When a male cat shows signs of estrus and urinates randomly, it can be punished appropriately. If a cat urinates indiscriminately, it should be caught on the spot after urinating and educated. You can flick the cat's nose appropriately and give stern education.

During this period, male cats that have not been castrated will start urinating everywhere to establish territory, causing the entire home environment to have a stinky smell that is difficult to remove. But remember not to hit. If the cat hits, it will resist and hold a grudge. Don’t scare the cat, especially when it is peeing. Anyway, let it finish peeing after it has already peeed. Scare the cat to urinate when it is peeing. Scared back can easily cause urinary tract disease. If a male cat in heat is not closely supervised, he may slip out and fight with cats outside, resulting in bruises all over his body. If you are not careful, the wound may become infected or cause other serious diseases.

2. Keep an eye on cats to prevent them from having affairs

Cats in estrus will become irritable and like to urinate everywhere. And they prefer to sneak out outdoors to find satisfactory members of the opposite sex for mating. For this reason, owners should strictly monitor their cats to prevent them from going out to have affairs, and prevent cats from mating outdoors with wild cats or cats with infectious diseases, so as not to affect the health of the next generation.

4. Neutering the cat

​Neutering will return cats to their normal pre-estrus life. Completely correct the phenomenon of random urination and loud crying of female cats, and reduce the chance of male cats getting lost.

Studies have shown that pets who are not spayed or neutered have a disease rate nearly 40 times higher than those who are spayed or 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.

In essence, ligation surgery is a safe, simple, and painless operation performed by professionally trained surgeons. After the operation is completed, it only takes about 3 days of rest, and the animal is like a lively animal. After surgery, the possibility of some diseases can also be eliminated. Therefore, this surgery is good for both the welfare of humans and dogs.
