Female Torti Calico acting weird while in heat
Hi - Please don't chop my head off or anything.... BUT! I have a female
Tortoise shell Calico who is not spayed and will be 2 years old in May. WAIT - she has an appointment tomorrow for her boosters and pre-op, she is being spayed next week. I wanted to wait until after she was out of heat because I heard (not sure how true it is) that her reproductive organs are more swollen during her heat than after. I have NOT allowed her to become pregnant. I have taken in several kitties over the years. My question is this - Is it normal for her to "spray" while in heat? (I use the term spray for lack of a better term.) She has been in heat several times and has never "sprayed" anywhere, but for the past week I have been closing doors and keeping her out of rooms to prevent her from marking anymore of what she thinks is her territory. I thought it was Mojo, the male, but I caught her mid-stream. My other female never did this or any other cat I have ever had. Usually spraying is attributed to my males’ right around the six- month old mark. I was wondering if maybe it might be an upper urinary tract infection or something instead of her being in heat. Just curious... She is going to the VET tomorrow; I simply would like some feedback on the behavior part. Thanks. |

Our vet recommended doing the operation when the cat is not in heat. If the cat turns out to be in hear, they charge a little more for it. My question is this - Is it normal for her to "spray" while in heat? (I use the term spray for lack of a better term.) I don't know how typical it is, but some females do spray. Kira went into heat twice before she was spayed. She didn't spray like a male sprays, but she peed on my bed several times. And one of my mom's cats, many years ago, would spray. She couldn't aim as high as a male, but she did manage to make some vertical surfaces. |
