False Heat
Hi. New to this group, but I'm an old hand at UseNet. Greta (named so because she wants to be alone) was spayed at the respected Nationally Affiliated Shelter I got her from. She was 10 weeks old. At 5 months or so, she started acting really peculiar, writhing on the ground, yelping horrifically. Now, I've had a cat go into heat, but that was 33 years ago, and I didn't recognize the symptoms, and besides, I didn't even consider heat, 'cos, hey, I got paperwork here confirming she's been spayed, right? Turns out, when they spayed her, they left a tiny bit of reproductive tissue in there (basically, they botched the operation). So now, every 6 weeks or so, I got a cat that goes into "heat". She's a little over a year old now, and as she approaches her prime, the Throes, as I call them, are getting more and more intense. And, no, they can't just go in and remove the rest of the tissue - it becomes detached and finding it involves, basically, exploding her. It's been suggested that I try a pheromone treatment such as Feliway. I found a pheromone collar at one of those Mega-Pet stores, and will try that next time, but I'm not holding my breath. She seems tortured when she goes into this, and I confess the last time this happened I took her back to the shelter and asked them to put her down. They talked me down off that cliff, assured me that she isn't in pain and that this is "normal". Normal. Except, I can't get her spayed and I can't get her laid. So this is her life, for the duration. She's a wonderful, affectionate kitty when in normal mode, but every so often she turns into Linda Blair for 10 days. Has anyone else ever dealt with this? Thanks for any info and/or experience you can provide... |
