I have a cat (fixed) and a kitten (very unfixed) and the kitten is on heat for the first time! I have never had to deal with this before as all of my previous cats have been fixed at the earliest opportunity.
She is crying yowling, and writhing seductively on the floor when I walk in the room. Is there anything I can do for her?

Cats will stay in heat or cycle very frequently until they are mated. It would be a good idea to get your cat spayed as soon as possible. The surgery is slightly more risky but in the long term it would be kinder to her to be spayed sooner rather than later.

This is what you need to do....please spay her immediately.
Despite what people above had said. Once a female cat goes into heat, she will do so again and again (as often as every two weeks) until she is either: a) pregnant or b) spayed. It *is* extremely uncomfortable for her and will get worse rather than better. Your veterinarian may be able to give her shots to make her more comfortable. At one time, they gave male hormones for this purpose, but I think that practice has been discontinued
I know this b/c when I got my first cat I knew she was a female and I was waiting until she was about 6 months old to spay her. Well around 4-5 months old she would not stop meowing (just like your cat). I decided to look on the internet about cat behavior. Why she was meowing and could she be in heat already...sure enough she was.
Every website I went to tells you that a cat will not stop her heat cycle until she is mated and pregnant or unless she is fixed.
So you have 2 options spay her or mate her.

specific. some kittens do pass into warmth while they're nevertheless fairly youthful. For now you will ought to observe her heavily and make certain she does not pass outdoors. you will ought to submit together with her behaviour till she settles down lower back (It should not be too long) for the reason which you isn't waiting to have her spayed whilst she is in warmth. (there is an better danger of problems during surgical technique whilst she is in warmth.)

Whatever ypu do, don't let her get pregnant. She is too young, and the kittens may be very small or not healthy. Get her spayed soon and she will become much more affectionate. My Tabitha was done at six months. She was caught, just in time, coming into 1st season.

I believe it is possible to spay a female in heat, however it is a more extensive procedure, may cost more and is probably best avoided if possible.
In time she will cycle out and you'll be able to get her spayed. In the meantime, keep an eye on her at all times. She will likely try to get out! I don't know what else to say except buy a good pair of ear plugs. You'll have a good story to tell someday. Good luck.

You might try isolating her in a quiet room with all her essentials until she gets over it.
Otherwise, no. But thank you for being a responsible person and getting your pets fixed!

There is nothing to do but wait it out, contain her in the house so she doesn't mate and fix her asap when she calms down.

Just wait it out and make sure she is isolated from unneutered males. When she's out of heat, be sure to get her spayed ASAP.
