My roomate has a cat and it has been in the heat for a good two weeks now. And she has it bad. Crying and meowing all day all night and I dont know about you but have got to get some sleep. My roomate can't get her fixed right now so is there anything that can be done. And will she ever be out of it. Any help would be great!!!

They are vets and centers that will spay or neuter your cat for low or no cost. You have no excuse for delaying.
Just call one and if they don't do it for free or next to nothing, they can probably tell you who does. Try the ASPCA or local pound first, perhaps.

There is no set answer -- it will vary from queen to queen depending on a number of factors ranging from genetics to health and environment.
On average, a kitten will enter her first heat, and thus qualify as a queen, somewhere between her sixth and eight month. She will exhibit heat behaviour* from five to ten days, with breaks from three days to three weeks in between. This cycle will be more intense in the spring and summer than at any other time of year, but cats have, like hominins, moved toward year round breeding, and some show no seasonality at all.
*Heat behaviour includes lowering her front end and elevating her behind, with the tail switched off to the side, rolling on the ground, marking -- even spraying -- her territory for males to detect, and vocalisations that range from murmurs to yowls.
It is strongly recommended that you have your female spayed as soon as possible after her sixth month. The world has quite enough kittens already, and less than half will find good homes. And, even if your cat never goes outside, so the chance of kittens is minimal, it will save you, and your bewildered little girl, a lot of grief!
Hope this helps!

The poor yowling cat will keep having episodes over time until she is fixed. Unfortunately unless you have a male cat around to shut her up, or can get her fixed, there's not much you can do. If she is an indoor cat, watch out because they tend to spray when they are in heat.

Either get the cat fixed or let her go outside and mate. Otherwise she'll start peeing all over your house. And you'll never get rid of the smell. I actually had to get rid of a sofa and love seat for that reason!

probably at least a min. of 4 days maybe more. also she might go right back in a week or two later. that sux. My aunt tells me you can use a que tip and jack er off with it! not that I recommend this way of getting her out . She did say it works. I dont want to know how she knows.
