Cat in heat?

My fiancé and I recently adopted two kittens... one aged 8 weeks (approx)
and one age 7 months (approx). The 7 month old seems to be displaying signs
of being in heat. They just had a check up and were in perfect health so it
was the only reason we could think of as to her behaviour of sticking her
butt in the air, more vocal behaviour and rubbing things. Is this about the
age they go in heat or is it too early? Could she be older than we think?

TIA

Definitely sounds like a heat. Nope, 7 months is not too early - they can
go into heat even earlier. Go ahead & make a spay appt. for her.

Thanks Cathy... it's breaking our hearts to hear her meows and see her not
being herself. She is usually a very quiet cat.

She'll be much happier once you get her spayed.

Somebody wants some. =O.o=

Cats can go into heat as early as six months. Sometimes a bit earlier,
but we've never had earlier than six months in our girls.

Unless she's for breeding, I encourage you to get her spayed.

Yes, those behaviors are hard to mistake for anything else. She's in heat, and
goodness no, 7 months is plenty old enough. Kittens can have their first heat
cycle as young as 4-5 months. You should schedule to have her spayed as soon as
possible.
