You take in a stray cat and have simply been too busy to schedule an appointment to have her spayed. Then one day you come home to find her howling constantly and rolling around on the floor. Has she gone mad? No, she's gone into heat, or estrus.
The reproductive cycle of female cats is different from that of women or dogs. Women have a monthly a menstrual cycle, during which the ovaries produce a viable egg and then, if fertilization does not occur, the uterus sheds a discharge. There is no specific period of receptivity to mating (and its opposite, a lack of receptivity) among humans-although certainly, there are times when we feel more romantic!
Cats and dogs, on the other hand, have an estrous cycle, during which the ovary is primed to produce an egg and the female is specifically receptive to mating. The estrous cycle consists of estrus, the period of mating, preceded by proestrus and followed by metestrus. During the breeding season, one estrus cycle is separated from the next by a brief inactive period known as diestrus. The longer quiescent period during the remainder of the year is called anestrus (literally "no estrus").

They go into heat. If you don't want kittens, keep her inside until she stops squatting and then get her fixed. Then this won't happen again. Otherwise, she will do it every few months.

they go int "heat" about once every 6 months & they get extremely horny, this is when they can get pregnant they also emit an odor which attracts male cats for miles around

I've always thought that, but I mean you can't buy tampax for cats! But she are on heat once a year, and that's their cycle.

women have periods, not animals. most likely she is in "heat" and needs to mate.
