Answer 1

Unfortunately, once a female cat goes into heat, she will do so again and again (as often as every two weeks) until she is either: a) pregnant or b) spayed. It *is* extremely uncomfortable for her and will get worse rather than better. Your veterinarian may be able to give her shots to make her more comfortable. At one time, they gave male hormones for this purpose, but I think that practice has been discontinued.
Female cats in heat will go to any lengths to get outside and mate. I've also heard of toms tearing the screens off windows to get to them.

As for bleeding, you'll rarely if ever see any blood from a female cat in heat, but you might want to confine her to a room away from the main door to help keep her confined indoors.

I Wish I could be more help, but in my opinion, spaying is the only sensible answer, particularly since you seem to have made a long-term commitment to this cat.

Female cats are unusual in that their heats are influenced by seasonal changes in the amount of daylight. Cats usually 'cycle' and are bred between January and September. Starting around January, a female cat will keep coming back into heat every 7-10 days until she is bred or the amount of daylight decreases (usually around October).
As you are very aware, a cat in heat is very vocal, calling and calling for a male cat. She will roll and roll on the ground and constantly rub against furniture or your leg. She will assume a breeding posture with her head and front legs near the ground and the rump area held high. You may notice her urinating frequently.

There is a cure. Spaying your cat will eliminate all these signs of being in heat and also eliminate the risk of certain diseases including ovarian cancers and infections of the uterus.

Immediately preceding oestrus, your female cat may become unusually affection, and rub her hind quarters against furniture, other cats, and/or her favorite human.
The Queen (name for female cats of breeding age) will vocalize loudly. This "calling" may go on for several days, unless she mates.
She will assume a mating position: head down, forelegs bent, rear quarters raised to expose the perineum ( this raised posture is called lordosis), with the tail raised and held to the side of the body. Her rear legs will tread rhythmically, as if walking in place.
Queenie may also spray vertical surfaces with a strongly scented fluid. She will accomplish this by backing up to the surface and raising her tail high. The tail may quiver, and she may perfom the rhythmic treading described in step four.

If your female cat does not mate, she will go into oestrus as often as every two to three weeks, for several months each year, until she either mates or is spayed.
Tips:
Unless she is a qualified pedigreed breeder, your female cat should be spayed. It will not only cease the uncomfortable heat cycles, but prevent certain serious medical problems.
Your veterinarian may be able to give your female cat hormones to stop the oestrus, if spaying is not immediately possible.
Female cats as young as four months can go into oestrus.

A female, once sexually mature, will go into heat (also known as estrus). Cats are seasonally polyestrous which means they will go into heat multiple times a season until they mate. Season usually starts a few months after winter solstice and usually ends in September or October. Indoor cats who are only exposed to artificial lighting may stay in season year round! Estrus itself will last 4 - 10 days and will cycle (about every 2 to 3 weeks) until the female mates, is spayed, or goes out of season. During this time the female will become fairly agitated: thrashing about, rubbing on floors and furniture, spraying, rolling about restlessly, lifting her tail to attract a mate, and crying or meowing loudly. Males in response to a female's heat will also have similarly extreme personality changes. In search of this willing mate he will do whatever he can to wander outside, he will also spray incessantly, mark his territory, and meow loudly. Many males also get fairly aggressive during this period.

As a general rule, unless you are a breeder, it is best to always spay or neuter your pet for many medical and behavioral reasons. One female cat and her offspring can produce over 400,000 cats in just seven years. Spaying/neutering your pet will ensure that your pet will not contribute to the pet overpopulation problem.

A female cat is spayed, this means that her ovaries and uterus (reproductive organs) will be removed. Usually she can be spayed after 6 months of age or in between heats or litters.** Your cat can be spayed during heat but it is more complicated and there is a slight risk due to increased vessel size and lowered clotting ability. If your female is not spayed she we often be in heat. This means meowing, crying, spraying, pacing and roaming the house (or outside if there is anyway to get out - beware a cat in heat is very, very clever) to look for a male. Unspayed females can also suffer uterine infections or breast cancer.

A male cat is neutered - this is the surgical removal of the testicles. This is a very simple procedure (much simpler than being spayed) that can be done after 6 months of age.** An unneutered male will go through severe spraying, howling, marking of territory and looking for a mate. An indoor male will do just about anything to get outside and find a female. Unneutered males are also prone to severe aggressiveness and territorialism.

** There is much debate going on about the *best* time to spay/neuter. Cats can be spayed/neutered earlier than 6 months of age, studies are still in progress on whether or not such early spaying/neutering is more or less beneficial than waiting till the cat is older than 6 months of age. If you are in doubt about when to spay/neuter consult your vet.

and if you want to help her then just do what-ever you would want during your period!good luck

Answer 2

Have her spayed at 6 months. It will save her (and you!) a lot of discomfort, and won't harm her in the least. We have 2 female cats we did that to before they went into heat, and it hasn't harmed them.

Answer 3

bodily they could have sex and he can get her pregnant. save them separated. there is not any genuine thanks to get him quiet. He might want to get neutered. this can save him from getting her pregnant, and he gained't care if she is in warmth or no longer. the rationalization he's throughout her is because he needs to have sex which includes her, and back, they could have sex. Huskies and pomeranian domestic dogs are a fashion designer dogs, and they are very diverse sizes, yet they nevertheless take care of to have sex and make domestic dogs, so do not imagine your basset isn't waiting to have sex along with your chihuahua, because he can. make effective that they are separated. there is not any genuine consider getting her spayed even as she is in warmth using the undeniable fact which will shrink to rubble her hormones for her total life, so wait until eventually she is a sturdy weight and out of warm temperature to get her spayed.

Answer 4

Sucks to be a female in heat!!!!!! I don't think there is much you can do aside from getting her fixed. Buy some earplugs and ignore her for afew days. She'll be fine, it will drive you crazy before it does her.

Answer 5

Keep her inside and play with her as best you can, give catnip.

Answer 6

move up her appointment.
