My cat is going crazy! I think she's in heat but it's been going on for a long time.?

Question

What should I do? Also she sprays - I thought only male cats do that. If I get her spayed will things get better?

Answer 1

I have dealt with a couple female cats that have sprayed before. I use to breed/show cats.
If you get her spayed she will stop spraying,and she wont act so nuts either.
in general females dont spray - only males because they are marking there terratory.
Female cats that spray while in heat are leaving a marking also.
If your not going to breed her - make an appointment with the vet and have her spayed and she will be a lot happier and wont spray anymore.
They usually only go into heat a few select times a year,but I have dealt with some that will have a heat cycle and a week later go right back into heat.
hope this helps

Answer 2

They can go into heat repeatedly, I believe every two weeks, so it may be just that she has come into heat so quickly it just seems like it's going on forever. And yes, females in heat can spray, I've seen them do it.

And yes, having her spayed will stop all that.

Answer 3

They can be in heat for 3 weeks at a time. Spaying will not only help the behaivor but will prevent certain types of cancer.

Answer 4

If you get her spayed she will stop spraying and clam down a bit. Some still do go into heat, however it isn't as extreme when they aren't producing as many hormones.

Answer 5

Yes, it will help, she is spraying because she's in heat. If she is close to 6 months old, it's definitely time.

Good luck!

Answer 6

things will get better if you have your cat spayed

Answer 7
