The cat is a beautiful animal that grows very fast, too. During the first six to eight months it will go from weighing about 200 grams to around two kilos, and it will still have at least a year and a half left to complete its development. The surprising thing is that it is precisely at that age, with half a year, when he begins to show interest in finding a partner.
Having a life expectancy of about 20 years, she must grow as fast as possible to be able to have her own children. Thus, the species can survive. The problem is that currently there are many domestic cats that live on the street or in shelters waiting for a family. Most will not have a chance. So I'm going to tell you how is the behavior of a cat in heat so that you can take the measures you consider necessary.
How does a cat in heat behave?
If we have a non-neutered male cat, when he is six, seven or eight months old (depending on how large he reaches as an adult) there will come a time when we will realize that the little one who only wanted to play now has started to do other things . Undoubtedly, one of the most surprising is that of stand on any object (stuffed animal or our arm or leg) in riding position. Although it will not be the only one.
Every time he looks out the window and sees a cat, he is going to do his best to go to her. He will meow desperately, can scratch the door of the house so that we let him out, and even could be a bit aggressive with us if we do not allow you access to the outside. What's more, will start dialing with urine his territory.
And a cat?
If we have a non-neutered cat, around five to six months it will reach sexual maturity. However, if it is the only animal we live with and it does not leave the house, we may not realize it until it begins to meow incessantly at night.
Another thing she will do when she is in heat is to be very affectionate. She will not want to be separated from us, and every time we stroke her on the back, she will arch her. In doing so, will adopt the riding position. Also, we will see that it rolls on the ground, with the belly facing up.
If we look for physical changes, we will observe that he licks his genitals a lotfor with zeal they become inflamed. On the other hand, the smell of urine becomes stronger.
To avoid unwanted litters, it is recommended neuter or spay the cat and the cat.
