I can't believe you have 3 unspayed female cats in the house and they are not driving you nuts with their cycles.....
However, catnip can be used as a sedative. I have found that fresh works best. Every year when we have the air show going over head I have stoned kitties for two days.(Each cat gets a branch about a foot long each morning before the show begins) Mom's homegrown organic catnip really helps them get through the constant zooming and sonic booms!

Well then you will have to put up with the chirping and the minnie ha ha in your face.
They want to mate and this is how cats act when that happens.
Spaying is not an un necessary thing though. Soon they will start to wee all over the house, marking territory and possibly worse.
Spaying will calm this all down and stop the butt face wiggles.
Plus what you are doing can be considered cruel in some places by not allowing them to mate and not being responsible enough to spay.
Give it a think and see if you can't come up with the right answer for all concerned.
Spaying is best.

Spaying is not unnessary is part pf being a responsible pet owner Spaying or neutering your pet eliminates or reduces a wide variety of health problems that can be very difficult and expensive to treat. Females no longer have to go through heat cycles and the health- and behavior-related problems that accompany them.
Infections of the reproductive tract:Unspayed cats may develop a severe uterine disease called pyometra. With this disorder, bacteria enter the uterus and it becomes filled with pus. The normal 6-inch long, thin horns of the uterus enlarge to 10 inches long and can become the diameter of a human thumb. Undetected, this condition is almost always fatal. In rare cases, when the condition is found early, hormonal and antibiotic therapy may be successful. This type of therapy is limited to valuable breeding animals. Generally, the treatment of pyometra requires a difficult and expensive ovariohysterectomy. The toxicities resulting from the infection can strain the kidneys or heart, and in some cases may be fatal or cause life long problems, even after the infected uterus has been removed.
Behavior and hygienic problems: During the heat cycle there are numerous problems to deal with. There are the behavior problems seen in some females searching or yearning for available males. Owners of females in heat also frequently have to deal with a sudden influx of male cats around the home and yard. The howling at 2 a.m. will affect your behavior as well as your cat's.
Unspayed females may spray urine when they are heat. This can be difficult to stop, and it is highly recommended that such cats are spayed as part of the treatment

Spaying is not an unnecessary surgery, in fact, if she goes in heat too often, it is putting her at risk of pyometra, unlike humans, cats don't shed their uterine lining it keeps building up then becomes an infection of the uterus which usually shows no symptoms until it's too late in which case, you will spend three times as much having her desexed, add onto that antibiotics and cortisone therapy and you're up for a mint and your cat may still die. You can google it. Also as cats are induced ovulators, leaving her whole is risking ovarian cysts which quickly become infected. Neutering will reduce her risk of mammary cancer and also eliminate cancer of the reproductive organs.
It is preventative surgery in more ways than one.
Being in heat is stressful for the cat, they are driven by hormones and don't understand what is happening to them. It compromises their immune system and even though they're indoors, the risk of viral and bacterial infections is great as some can be transmitted on shoes etc and many are airborne.

No, but you might want to invest in one of those girly hairy cushions that are very popular at the moment and she can hassle that instead.
Watch her like a hawk. First sign of a door or window open and she'll be out like greased lightning. At this stage your house is not yet surrounded by tom cats yowling all night and spraying everywhere; when that happens she'll lose interest in you and spend all day looking longingly out the window and glaring at you for keeping her shut in.

Aww poor kitty. The only thing that may help as a temporary fix is a cold wet wash cloth, hold it on her hiney and it will cool the area down for her temporarily. As soon as she comes out of heat please get her fixed.

Hormonal treatment for female cats are available. Ask your vet about it.
