Is my cat in heat?

[TexasLady]

shes whining, loud, obnoxious, rubbing the floor, wants out even tho shes an indoor girl...and lovin on the pit bull.

do i wait till this is over to get her fixed? is that the best time to do so? it would be her first heat if this is it. shes about 6-7 months old i think.

1. it sounds like it

is she yowling constantly? sticking her butt in the air?

that is what they do

[TexasLady]

2. shes always loud, but lately its much worse

she rules the dogs and humans around here, but she seems almost flirtatious with it now.

3. i have been told you can't get cats fixed while they are in heat..

but wait for some more "for sure" answers before you take my word for it! :hi:

[TexasLady]

5. alrighty

i surely will, thanks

[bettyellen]

4. yep, get her fixed. it never ends, it just gets worse until they escape

and come back knocked up.

6. Doing the backstroke on the living room floor?

Yep. Call your vet and make the arrangements. She'll drive you insane if you don't. She's old enough and should weigh enough, which the vet will determine.

Good luck! :hi:

7. thanks i will

9. oh hell yeah that is heat for sure...i know all about cat's in heat

but I don't feel like getting into that story tonight. like everybody else says, get the cat fixed or else you will go completely insane. I have seen our cat hump my sisters foot howling loudly when she was in heat while my sis was talking on the phone. the person calling my sister was like "what the hell is that." so, Yeah,I have been there. for your, and everybody elses sanity, get the kitty fixed soonest. :crazy:

8. yes, you can fix her even when she's in estrus....

She'll just stay that way until you do, so there's no point in waiting.

12. my sister was told by a vet to wait until her cat was out of heat...

I think, not 100% sure of that though..so i am curious to hear from others on this..glad you posted..

10. you can go ahead and get her fixed

or she will just keep throwing herself into heat and you will have every tom in the neighborhood on your doorstep.

11. Yes. She's definitely in heat.

This is the time to get her fixed- oh, and she will try anything and everything to get out for the next few days- keep an eye on her. :thumbsup:

13. Yup, she is

You need to wait to spay her til it's over.

When I was in high school our cat went into heat. My mother was thrilled! Our cat was so affectionate! How cute!

I finally asked her if she was that naive. "About what?" she asked. "Ever heard the phrase French whorehouse on payday? Cause you're looking at it!" I replied.Right after our cat had her litter and could get spayed, she was.

Khash.

14. Hold on...if she IS in heat, you need to tell the vet that's going to spay

her. When in heat, oftentimes, a vet won't do the surgery. It's more difficult, and there's a huge tendency for bleeding. Bad bleeding. If your vet suggests waiting until the end of her cycle, do so. But then get her fixed immediately.

15. Yes, she's in heat

She can be fixed while in heat, but it costs more because the procedure is more difficult. Scribbles went into heat the day she was scheduled to go, but we've found a vet with really cheap prices....$35 to spay...they only tacked on an extra $10.
