Help! My cat is in heat, and I cannot afford to fix her for another week!!?

Question

Is there anything I can do to make her more comfortable? (And I dont mean anything disgusting, for all you retards out there that are just dying to come back with a stupid response, go ahead show us what idiots you are)...I mean as far as a pill, like pamprin for cats or something? I feel terrible, I want to get her fixed asap, but I cannot afford it right now! She is crying all night and sticking her butt up in the air...any suggestions please!!

Answer 1

When the queen is bred by the tom she yawls out. That is because the tom has barbs on his penis that are painful to the queen. This is what tells the queens body to release eggs and triggers her to go out of heat. My vet has told me to gently insert the bulb end of a thermometer just barely into her vagina and the cat will be signaled to go out of heat,quite the same as the natural act. It does work but if you are not real familiar with cats you would want to be very careful as you would not want to injure her.

Answer 2

She isn't crying because she's suffering, she's crying because she's trying to attract a male to breed with. Please don't give her any medications - she doesn't need them, and most human medications are very toxic to cats.

I do recommend that you keep her confined somewhere where you can be 100% sure that she won't get outside. A cat in heat can be amazingly good at finding ways to escape, even up to tearing out your window screens or tripping you when your hands are full of groceries. If you have a crate large enough for her to rest comfortably in and to hold her litterbox and food and water, I'd suggest keeping her in it until you can get her in to be spayed. If you don't have a crate, make sure that you don't leave any windows open, and put her in another room with the door closed with a litterbox and food & water when you have to leave the house, so she can't run out the door as you're leaving or coming in. Put her up if you're going to have guests over, too, or she may get out then. Make sure everyone in your house understands how important it is that she doesn't get out! If they don't take it seriously, then it's safer to keep her locked up in a room.

You may also want to get some earplugs so you can sleep. :-)

If you haven't already set the appointment with your vet, go ahead & do it now, for the day you'll have the money, so you won't have to wait a moment more. If your vet knows your cat is in heat, he or she may be willing to work with you on the bill and take her in even sooner. I'm glad you're getting her spayed ASAP!

Have you heard of these animal humane societies that fix your pet for you for free? They go off your income... if you dont make alot you wont have to pay alot... other than that there is nothing you can do for her, keep her AWAY from males. Keep in mind if she was a wild cat she wouldnt have the choice to take pamprin or anything like that... hope this helps!!

Do u have pals or kinfolk who supply u presents for birthday, or trip journeys? possibly they might supply a vet some funds to pay his bill for spaying. I dont be attentive to the place america yet flow on the internet and inquire approximately less expensive spay or neuter courses, many communities have them.. Can u borrow some $ from a puppy loving relative..? Is there some bartering affiliation u ought to do on the vets via offering to bathe, answer telephones, or supply a certificates for doing house familiar jobs or something else for the vet? good success with it and that i'm sorry on your loss. make sure she does no longer get out until u could have this carried out as then u could have greater beneficial kittens to guard, which no person needs. and accepted time mom cats get trouble of being pregnant and beginning generally. So that is mandatory that u have her spayed.. additionally then she would be waiting to no longer get maximum cancers in her woman organs as unspayed cats are services to get.. i'm interior the USA of united statesa., they have many lo cost courses in my section, call ur community cat look after and or get on line, clarify your plight.. A cat may well be an magnificent convenience to you at this unhappy time of loss, i particularly have seen how they might study our emotions so that is why too I nag suitable to the spay... She desires ur help with this yet will return the affection and convenience so considerable to u now.. different than appropriate now she is pushed via her hormones... that is going to likely be lots nicer for YOU while she is a relaxed happy loving puppy returned..=^--^=

Answer 5

Ah!!! I totally know what you are going through because when I found my girl she did the exact same thing, and I couldn't get her to the vet that week!!! Anyway, I gave her some 'Rescue Remedy' which is a herbal relaxant. It helped a little. I think you just need to let her go through it otherwise. I honestly don't think they are in pain or uncomfortable, they are just doing what is natural, they are attracting mates by yowling (they want to attract as many as possible because there can be multiple fathers per litter - potentially better offspring, genetically speaking). Anyway, I know it's ANNOYING but it'll end!!! Trust me! hehehe

Good luck!

Answer 6

No, there isn't a Pamprin for Kitties. It's just something she's going to have to go through (and you too) for another week. She can be spayed while it heat, it may cost a bit more though.

Answer 7

I know how u feel it's like u wish there was something u could do and don't she look funny with her butt up in the air i have one that does the same thing and she loves my husband to death when she is that way i guess it is the testosterone he puts out. But i do feel for you because i know how aggravating it can be

Answer 8

EARPLUGS!!! (for you, not her)

I went through this a few months back... and it SUCKED. My little girl screamed all night, and stuck her butt in the faces of her confused older brothers.

Unfortunately there isn't anything you can do. I got mine done at the local ASPCA, for $35. Because I couldn't wait for the free clinic with a one month and a half waiting list!

Check with a shelter and they may know somewhere you can get done for fairly cheap like that.

My thoughts are with you....

Answer 9

There's nothing you can do, unfortunately.

She's in heat, that's all. She's not in pain or anything, so Pamprin would have zero effect. She'll come out of it soon and you can have her fixed then.

In the meantime, good luck sleeping! :)

Answer 10

She isn't in pain or anything, just horny. And you cannot get them fixed until they are out of heat anyway. Most of the time it only lasts a couple of weeks or so, just put your money aside for it so you'll be ready as soon she's out of heat.
