What to do if a female British Shorthair cat is in heat:

1. Find a partner for the cat. According to your actual situation, if you are willing to let the cat get married and have children, just find a partner for it to have children when it is in heat.

2. Sterilization. If your home does not have the conditions for a cat to breed, the best way is to neuter it. Cats that are always in estrus are not good for their health and are prone to ovarian and uterine diseases.

3. Preparations before sterilization. It is not recommended to sterilize cats during estrus, as they are prone to heavy bleeding and are harmful to the health and life of the cat. Because the physiological structure of female cats is different from that of male cats, neutering is more complicated. Try to find a regular pet hospital for surgery, which is safer.

4. During the cat’s estrus period, you can soothe the cat’s mood and do appropriate exercises with the cat to release excess energy and reduce the symptoms of estrus.
