I think, that since their reproductive system and hormone systems work in a similar way to ours, it's probable. When their hormones change when they are older, their heat cycles start to become fewer and fewer, just like human menstrual cycles do. I don't think they have the symptoms of menopause that humans do, but I think the "process" is similar. It's still not too late to have her spayed though.

Cats thank God, get to a point where they cannot get pregnant anymore. 9 is too old to be having kittens.
Is there a reason you would not get her spayed?????

If she was not fixed before her first heat, yes. Each heat after that raises the risk of uterine cancer.
