I ask this cos im a dude myself, and er..i have a female calico cat (i asked bout her problem of only eating tinned tuna, and avoiding her catfood you may recall...) but yea, my question is..if a female cat doesn't wanna 'get jiggy with it' and accidently runs into a 'dude cat' who's seriously in heat, what are her chances of avoiding his advances in all their glory ?
cats are way down the ladder in the mammal kingdom, but theoreticaly if a female cat told the dude cat 'hey look...im NOT interested' but he boned her anyway, thats kinda rape. I guess on 'cat planet' (in a galaxy far far away...) theres a justice system in place where a cat judge, and cat lawyers deal with cat rape. anyways before this question takes a turn for the worse...i just wanted to know if female cats can ward off male cat advances , i have never seen cats 'get it on' (and trust me i think i could do without ever having to witness such a spectacle too)..

but i wanted to know if female cats are physicaly able to teach a male cat in heat a 'lesson' for his advances. It's just that we haven't had our kitty 'spaded' (de-fertilised) yet and as much as we'd adore a litter of kittens, i seriously think we'd struggle to take care of em. ALSO MORE IMPORTANTLY...my kitty is about 7 months and a half now, she naturaly wants to roam around garden to garden i think , no i KNOW shes ventured off into 'unknown territory' too. i.e behind our house there is a canal bank. Is she too young to fend off a fully grown male cat in heat ? or am i just worrying too much about this ?

Female cats are the ones that go into heat. Not the males, they are only there for the sex. Sound familiar?
Get the cat fixed already. End of story.

If your cat is not spayed there is no reason why she'd want to fend off a male cat. And male cats, by the way, don't go into heat. Only females do. The proper term is estrus. It's natural for a female cat in heat to mate. If your cat were already spayed, she would fight tooth and nail any male cat that came near her. But the point is moot because if she were spayed, a male cat wouldn't even bother with her because she wouldn't be in heat. Get it? Get your cat spayed dude. Females should be spayed by 6 months. If she goes in heat, and encounters a whole male, she WILL mate. That's not a warning, that's a fact of nature. So if you don't want to contribute to the homeless pet population, do yourself a favor and take your kitty to the vet NOW. And you will need to do it when she's NOT in heat because the surgery is more complex for a female cat in heat and most vets won't do it. Until she's out of heat, you better keep her inside. By the way, cat mating can become very violent with the female often havng a chunk of flesh ripped off her neck from the male biting while holding her down. Hope this answered your question.

1. Dude cats do not go into heat. Only females
2. When a female cat is in heat, she emits fermones into the air that drive male cats crazy and it draws the male cat to the female.
3. When a female cat is in heat, the whole hormone thing changes her body so that she WANTS it and wants it BAD! So it's mutual, no rape.
4. Animals are very simple this way. If the female is not in heat, she doesn't want it, doesn't emit fermones and the males sees no reason to "get jiggy" with her because they cannot make babies. although he may mount her to create a dominant role for himself.
5. The idea of rape although referring to a physical act is also an emotional process that is not prevailent in animals, for the most part.

Female cats typically have their first heat around the age of six months, which usually lasts for 5 to 7 days. Cat's heat cycles are light dependent and they usually have heat cycles every 9 to 13 days from January through October, though some indoor cats exposed to constant light times will cycle all year. Get her spayed as soon as you can or you will end up with many kittens..it is possible for her to have kittens every two months,,,she can even get pregnant while nursing a litter....
I have had little girl cats, hurt by boy cats...they hold them down and put their claws in their little necks...get her spayed before she gets hurt..

No once a female is in heat she will turn into a little slut and be searching out a male cat to breed with...males normally want nothing to do with females otherwise, if they are not in heat they ignore them and no males do not go into heat, they are ready 24/7 for a female who is in heat though. Get your little girl spayed now and keep her indoors till you do...then you will effectively stop any unwanted pregnancies down the road. And no they cannot fend off a male, yet if they are in heat they don't want to anyways...

When a queen comes into heat she actively searches for a male to mate with. If she deems a Tom unsuitable to mate with eg, too small, young, not enough male prowess, yes she can defend herself. however if a Tom manages to turn her head, as it were, she will be ready and willing to be served. If you have any doubts about coping with a litter of kittens, get her spayed now. It may seem an expensive op, but in the long run it is worth every penny.
By the way, love the way you think!

Yes, if the female cat doesn't want to mate with the male, all she has to do is not assume the 'mating position' and the male may TRY but he cannot 'penetrate' her ... I know this, because I had a female 'semi-Siamese' who got out when she was in heat, but she 'fought off' at least four males ... and I watched her do it from my window. She had NO kittens, and we got her spayed after that ... I suggest that you get your cat spayed if you don't want her to have kittens ... because one of these 'heats' she's going to 'find a male she likes' and then you will have kittens to deal with.

Male cats do not go into heat.
If you cannot take care of kittens and find good homes for them...SPAY the cat!!!!!!!

Males don't go into heat..the females do....and its to procreate not to have sex. So she wouldn't bother.
