We know that when a pet cat is in heat, its body and personality will undergo obvious changes. Cats will show signs of estrus after they become sexually mature. Generally speaking, cats will show signs of estrus between the ages of 6-12 months. Specific to the sexual maturity time of female cats, those who mature early are around 4 or 5 months, and those who mature late can reach about 1 and a half years old. Male cats mature sexually later, but some male cats produce sperm in their stools at 4 or 5 months.

Generally speaking, male cats usually go into estrus every other week, and each time lasts for seven to ten days. When in estrus, male cats may roll around or twist their bodies first, and some may howl loudly or leave urine in the corner of the room to attract female cats. When a male cat in heat wants to urinate, he will raise his tail high and shake it quickly, and at the same time, a stream of urine will hit the wall.

Estrus is the fertile period for female cats. Generally, female cats go into estrus every two to three months. Of course, the number of times a female cat is in estrus will vary depending on breed, environment, physique, and age. The female cat's meowing will become lower and the number of meowing will increase. She will become very friendly to people and will also rub her body against people or objects, or roll on the ground. Some female cats pee all over the floor when in heat, but this is relatively rare.

And female cats will go into heat every 2-3 weeks until mating is successful. The performance of estrus is rolling and howling. If you pat the base of the female cat's tail gently with your hand, she will instinctively raise her buttocks. Strictly speaking, we do not recommend mating cats when a female cat is in heat for the first time. Because many cats are only sexually mature when they go into heat for the first time, and their bodies are not yet mature. Generally, normal mating of cats can be carried out when the cat is in heat for the second time.
