How long does it last???????
How long does a female cat stay in heat? We have one extremely horny kitty,
who is scheduled to be spayed in two weeks (it's the soonest we could get her and her sister in, after we took them in as strays). She just started with the incessant howling this morning and, of course, there's a local male cat camped out on our doorstep, waiting for her to bust her way out the door. So I guess my questions are, in addition to how long does this last, what can we do to shut her up? I mean, should we just let her go out and get "serviced?" I hate the idea of the spaying becoming a kitten abortion, but I just know that between now and then she's gonna get out. She's EXTREMELY determined to do so. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks, Lisa |

Thanks, Lisa Cats can be in heat anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks.. the first one is always unpredictable anyway. Not much you can do but live through it.. My apologies. If she were my cat, I might find a cage to put her in till she's through it. (or lock her up in the bathroom) Do NOT let her out.. any toms that are roaming around have most likely been exposed to any number of fatal diseases. If she happens to sneak out, and get pregnant, yes, the vet will just abort the litter, which would be in the best interest of the world anyway.. Way too many strays in this world.. Good luck. |

I'm told that a spay during pregnancy is more complicated due to increased blood flow. My babe is in a similar spot, but she doesn't realize that one solution might be waiting for her if she could only get outside. She thinks I can help her out. So I do, by distracting her--throwing balls and toys, doing catnip, and lots of loving. Lasts about four days IME, with a couple of days of attentiveness and noise on either end of that. (Mine is a talker, and she tells me all about it.) HTH --Karen M. |

Lisa, the heat can last a few days to a week or two. And once she's through
one heat, it's quite possible for her to go right into another heat (cats have been known to have just given birth and go right into heat again). Unfortunately female cats are what is called "polyestrus", which basically means they will go into heat whenever they please. Keep her indoors until her date with the vet. And sorry to say, you'll have to listen to the crying at night, unless you have a sound proof room for her. JoJo "Lisa" wrote in message . com... How long does a female cat stay in heat?
