my cat is not fixed either (and I don't plan on doing that drastic of a surgery to her, no matter what everyone else thinks) We just try to play with her more and when she gets really annoying we just shut her in the basement for awhile or let her outside on her leash in the yard. Marbles loves my husband too when she's in heat and she won't sleep in bed with us during that time either (she does every other night!)
you just have to put up with it.........as annoying as it may get.

~GOOD LUCK!

Why on earth don't you want to get her fixed? Do tell...
Your sexual comments about your husband and the cat are a bit disturbing. You should like you need some serious help.

unless you have a rare cat or are a breeder there is NO reason to not get her spayed. It will make her healthier, calmer, and best of all no blood spots, no meowing in the middle of the night.......Plus she will not try to escape, and trust me, if she dosent "get it" she will start tying to find ways to escape to take care of her "problem". It will get to be like she is constantly in heat and nothing else, she can also start showing agression towards you and your family.

You really should get her fixed. That is the best thing for all of you, and will make your cat healthier for life.

Queens are seasonally polyestrous, which means they come into heat in certain seasons of the year, and they will cycle multiple times if they are not bred. They are also reflex ovulators, which means they need to be bred before they will ovulate. Cycling tends to occur most often in the spring and summer in outdoor cats. Cats kept indoors and exposed to artificial lights may cycle year-round.
The stages in a cat's estrus cycle are: anestrus, proestrous, estrus, interfollicular stage, and metestrus. Anestrus is typically seen in the short days of winter. The tom is not attracted to the queen, and vice versa.
Proestrus may last 1-2 days in some queens, but is not consistently seen. During this stage, she may 'call' the tom, roll, and rub on the ground. She will still not allow the tom by her. The bleeding seen in female dogs during proestrus is not seen in female cats. She may progress from proestrus to estrus in just a few hours.
Estrus lasts about a week, but may be longer or shorter. The queen should be taken to the tom for mating. During this time, the queen will allow the tom to approach her and mate. Mating may last 1-20 seconds. The tom must have an escape route such as a box or shelf to jump on after breeding the queen, as she often responds aggressively. Immediately after mating, she will frantically groom herself and not allow anyone near her for up to an hour. After that point, her receptive behavior and mating resumes. Three breedings a day for the first three days of estrus produced ovulation in 90% of the queens in a study. During estrus, the queen may allow more than one tom to mate with her; it is possible for a litter of kittens to have different fathers (superfecundation).
If she was not bred, she will enter an interfollicular stage (also known as interestrus). She shows no sign of reproductive activity during this stage. This stage may last about 1 week. She then goes into proestrus and estrus again. If she mated and ovulated but did not become pregnant, she goes through a metestrus stage that lasts about 5-7 weeks. During this stage, she does not show signs of reproductive activity.
If the mating was successful, she will go through an approximately 63-day pregnancy. Determine her due date by adding 63 days to each day breeding occurred. If her estrus cycle lasted for a week and she was bred every other day, her due date is over the course of a week also.
If a female aborts or loses her nursing kittens, she will return to estrus within 2-3 weeks. After having a litter, she will start cycling again by the time the kittens are 8-10 weeks old.
