they are both sisters. I thought cats came in heat about 7 mths. old. All my others did. They seem to be healthy, active cats.

Have you had them since birth? If not they might be spayed already
You might want to take them to the vet, there could be something wrong with their reproductive systems

Dogs come into heat on a regular cycle, every 5-8 months depending on the breed and starting around 5-7 months of age.
Cats, on the other hand, are known as 'opportunistic' breeders. They will come into heat whenever they think there is an opportunity to mate. If they are confined to a space with only other female cats and have no exposure to any other cats, especially males, they will not bother to go through any heat cycles.
Also, did you get them as very small kittens, or is there a chance they have been spayed already? (Which really should be done, it's much healthier for the cat.)

Normally they would have been in heat by now. However, cat's heats aren't always obvious - neither are dog's. It's important to bear in mind that cats don't even need to be in heat to become pregnant, they are induced ovulators (the act of mating causes them to release an egg).
Regardless of all of that, I urge you to get your cat's spayed. It really is important, I expect you've read some of the rants on here about it. Truth is, there are just far too many unwanted cats in this world without bringing more into the world - not suggesting your kittens would be unwanted, but they would be taking up homes needed for the ones in shelters. Plus, spaying is important for a cat's health - prevents pyometra, as well as mammary, ovarian and uterine cancers. It should be done from 5 months of age.

check out group g strep online. you're cats are healthy except repro.......labs in USA don't keep sample 10 days needed. it's becoming a big problem in catteries. ex: don't breed, breeding doesn't take, resorb litter, abort, still births, fading kittens, deformaties on n on. Unless ur willing to research constantly and have a running bill at the vet.......why breed?
