have looked up various books and websites and these contain interesting information about menstruation, but most of the information concerns humans.
http://ajp.amjpathol.org/cgi/content/full/157/6/1759 contains information about menstruation and similar topics in various mammals. http://www.biologymad.com/master.html?, http://www.biologymad.com/Hormones/Hormones.htm and http://www.howstuffworks.com/menstruation.htm may also be helpful for you.
The following mammals show menstrual flow: elephant shrews, Old World monkeys and apes, including humans. http://www.kband.com/reports/000116.html states that overt menstruation is recorded in a few species of new world monkeys and the Malayan flying lemur, as well as cat-like marsupials (dasyures), tree shrews, elephant shrews, hedgehogs and various species of free-tailed and American leaf-nosed bats and vampires. In all of these, the loss of blood is a non-event, compared to the situation in humans. There are anecdotal reports for menstruation in the coyote and African elephant.

NO
A platypus lays eggs but breast feeds and therefore is considered a mammal. It does not have periods.

Cats have one once every two weeks.

This is exclusively a gal thing, OK? You do understand what a gal is, huh?

Only when they come at the end of a sentence.
