Can someone please explain what a cat on heat is? Sorry but i have no idea and want to know what to expect. When she gets desexed does that mean she will not be on heat anymore. Also, does that mean that i shouldn't let her outside until she is desexed as i don't want her to have kittens.

Hi there...between 5-7 months is the average female cats will come into heat--sometimes as young as 4 months young.
Many shelters will perform early spay/neuter on cats as young as 12 weeks of age so long as the cats weigh a minimum of 2 pounds. For more detailed information on early spay/neuter: http://www.cvm.uiuc.edu/ope/ivb/spay-neu.htm

Females get their first heat cycle at about 6 month old. You can have her spayed as early as 3 months old. It'll save her from going into heat as well as decrease her risk of uterine (because it is removed) and breast cancers. Some people think that they should have a litter of kittens before being spayed, but that's just not true.

They don't get periods like dogs, they come into heat with a hormone swing.
Most female cats are 5 months old when they do, but some can go into heat as early as 4 months.

a kitten can go into heat as early as 4-6 months of age. This means that she can become pregnant by a male. When in heat she will cry alot and very loudly and want to get outside. YOu should have your cat spayed before she even goes into heat.

They don't get a period they come on heat. When on heat is when they can get pregnant and they start from around 6 months old and will continue to get it every 3 weeks until neutered or "seen to". You do need to be aware also though that in very rare cases a female kitty can get stuck in heat and cause it a lot of pain and stress.

Cats don't menstruate as we understand it - that's a phenomenon almost unique to primates. Their first estrus or 'heat' usually comes at about 6 months of age; it may be as late as 8 months or - rarely- as early as 4 months. Estrus is the fertile period of a cat, when their hormones prompt them to seek a mate. While heat cycles are often irregular early on, adult cats usually go into estrus every 3 weeks between about February and October, unless they get pregnant.
While it is traditional to spay a cat at 6 months of age, it can be done earlier if your veterinarian is comfortable doing this.

My cat went into heat at about 5 months old, she drove me nuts. She would get into everything and climb on things and constantly cry and lay on the floor and go in circles. She didnt know what to do with herself. If you dont want any kittens dont let her outside until you get her fixed.

they don't get a period, they go into heat. and it's usually shortly after they're 6 months old, which is why they recommend getting them spayed at that age.
