"Laila" wrote in message ... i am not sure what the behavior of a cat going into heat is, but either my 5-6 months old Shaina is crazy bored running around and making new cat noises, or she is going into heat. she NEVER makes cat noises. she says "m-e-e-e-e" with this little screeching sound when we pick her up and she meows when she wants food. now she is making cat noises when she runs around. i haven't had the time to take her to the vet to be spayed, but i am calling the ASPCA tomorrow! i can't afford the $200-$500 procedure at the vet's office. -L If she's meowing/crying for no apparent reason, is rubbing up against stuff like crazy, is rolling around a lot, is crouching w/ her rear end up in the air - maybe w/ her tail swished to one side, she's in heat. Of course, she may also be in heat for the first time & yet not being so very obvious about it yet. Good to get her spayed even if she isn't in heat yet, esp. if she's over 3 months old. I'd guess that $200 - 250 should be the high end of what a vet's office would normally charge, not $500. With the low end being maybe $100. (All depends upon where you live - the general COL, & each individual vet's practice's charges in general.) However, if the ASPCA can do it for less, or refer you to another vet, that'd work. Cathy |

And then there are the facial expressions. I swear Gnarly had one that made me think of Zsa Zsa Gabor in her younger days. |
