Female cats that have not been neutered will come into heat every three to four weeks and they will get very noisy! Cats are very fertile during this period that can last up to 7 days. That means every three to four weeks you’re faced with a boisterous cat with skyrocketing hormone levels. If you don’t want your cat to give birth to kittens, the best solution is to take the cat to the vet clinic to have it spayed. However, if you want your cat to breed, you will have to deal with behaviors that occur during the cat’s estrus cycle, such as high-pitched meows and courtship. You’ll also have to find a way to keep your cat from getting pregnant if you don’t want more kittens. [1] X Research Source Reproduction in the Dog and Cat. Christiansen. Publisher: Baillierie-Tindal
Steps
Dealing with Cat Behavior
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/3/34/Deal-With-a-Female-Cat-in-Heat-Step-1-Version-3.jpg/v4- 460px-Deal-With-a-Female-Cat-in-Heat-Step-1-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/3/34/ Deal-With-a-Female-Cat-in-Heat-Step-1-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Deal-With-a-Female-Cat-in-Heat-Step-1-Version-3. jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Make the cat cry less. When it comes to estrus, cats will signal to increase their chances of finding a mate and giving birth. Loud and constant meowing is one of the ways cats do it. People who have never had experience with cats will think that the cat is in pain, but it is a completely normal behavior. You can ignore the cat meowing or apply some ways to calm the cat.
- You can use a Feliway diffuser before your cat reaches heat. The smell of synthetic pheromones will help your cat feel safe and familiar. [2] X Research Source Pheromones are substances that are used as a type of chemical signal—like the natural pheromones that female cats release during heat to attract a mate. However, the type of pheromone that the Feliway diffuser also has a calming and calming effect on the cat.
- While there is no immediate effect, the pheromone will build up and calm your cat after a few weeks. Therefore, it is best to turn on the diffuser early and continuously so that it works when the cat is in heat.

Coping with territory marking behavior by the smell of urine. Not all female cats exhibit this behavior, however some may mark their territory with urine. Cat urine has strong scent signatures to attract a mate. There is no way you can stop this behavior from your cat other than neutering, so you can only find ways to deal with it. You can apply a few ways below to make things easier:
- Make sure your cat has a clean litter box at all times. The hope is that the cat will keep the habit of going to the toilet in the sandbox instead of marking it around the house.
- Quickly deodorize if the cat urinates outside the house. Doing so will prevent the cat from coming back and continuing to mark the spot.
- Use a cleaner that contains “enzymes” to completely remove the smell of cat urine. [3] X Research Source The enzymes in these products break down urine better than other detergents. You should let the enzyme cleaners dry naturally for best results.
- You can make your own detergent by diluting biological detergent with water, then rinsing the area with urine and rinsing with water. Rinse again with the baking soda solution and rinse one last time.
- Always test the cleaning product on a small, hidden corner of the fabric before cleaning urine stains.

Prepare mentally that the cat will stick to you. The amount of hormones in the cat’s body will increase and affect its behavior during estrus. Your cat’s body language and communication behavior will change more or less.
- Cats will be more attached to their owners than usual.
- Cats will ask to scratch their backs. When being scratched on the back, cats often raise their tails to the side and expose their genitals.
- The cat will probably ‘crawl’ on the floor in a push-up position with the back body raised and the front body pressed to the floor.
- Cats also love to enthusiastically squirm and roll, sometimes rolling and writhing as if in pain. You don’t have to worry—it’s just flirting.
- This behavior is completely normal and not cause for concern, as long as no male cat has access to the female cat there should be no problem.

Pay more attention to cats. You should often play with the cat so that it has to expend energy. When there is no more energy left, cats are more obedient and go to sleep instead of rolling around and screaming. Many female cats love to make noise and even enjoy being massaged during sexual development. Don’t be surprised if your cat seems to be flirting with you and showing off its genitals!
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/d/d6/Deal-With-a-Female-Cat-in-Heat-Step-5-Version-2.jpg/v4- 460px-Deal-With-a-Female-Cat-in-Heat-Step-5-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/d/d6/ Deal-With-a-Female-Cat-in-Heat-Step-5-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Deal-With-a-Female-Cat-in-Heat-Step-5-Version-2. jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Do not change your cat’s diet. Many times, cats will neglect to eat when they are sexually active. They can lose weight, lose weight, and cause anxiety in their owners. However, you should not give your cat more energy-rich foods to compensate for his lack of appetite. Otherwise, the cat will have even more energy to spend on meowing.
- Instead, give your cat food as usual, give it a little more and let it eat freely, when it wants to eat by itself.

Reduce stress for other cats. If you have a lot of cats, you can imagine how stressful it is for them to have one cat every three weeks and cry for a week. This can cause them to become chaotic. If you use a Feliway diffuser to calm the behavior of a hot cat, it will also help other cats feel less stressed.
- Don’t forget that the Feliway diffuser takes a few weeks to work, so turn it on before the female cat is in heat.
Preventing cats from getting pregnant
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/f/fe/Deal-With-a-Female-Cat-in-Heat-Step-7-Version-2.jpg/v4- 460px-Deal-With-a-Female-Cat-in-Heat-Step-7-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/f/fe/ Deal-With-a-Female-Cat-in-Heat-Step-7-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Deal-With-a-Female-Cat-in-Heat-Step-7-Version-2. jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Keep cats indoors. If you usually let your cat roam around outside, you need to keep the cat indoors as soon as you notice it shows signs of heat. When the cat is indoors, you control whether the male cat has access to it. If the female cat roams outside, all the male cats in the neighbor’s house will be attracted to her vocalizations and markings and there is a high chance that she will conceive.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/c/ca/Deal-With-a-Female-Cat-in-Heat-Step-8-Version-2.jpg/v4- 460px-Deal-With-a-Female-Cat-in-Heat-Step-8-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/c/ca/ Deal-With-a-Female-Cat-in-Heat-Step-8-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Deal-With-a-Female-Cat-in-Heat-Step-8-Version-2. jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Isolate the female cat from the male cat in the house. If you keep a male cat that has not been spayed, it may stick to the female cat like a magnet when the female cat develops sex. You need to separate them from the female cat until her mating cycle is over.
- Keep the male or female cat in a separate room.
- Prepare your cat’s furniture so it won’t be uncomfortable being kept in a separate room. You should put in the room a litter box, a comfortable place for the cat, food, water and many toys so that it does not get bored.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/c/c2/Deal-With-a-Female-Cat-in-Heat-Step-9-Version-2.jpg/v4- 460px-Deal-With-a-Female-Cat-in-Heat-Step-9-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/c/c2/ Deal-With-a-Female-Cat-in-Heat-Step-9-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Deal-With-a-Female-Cat-in-Heat-Step-9-Version-2. jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Close all doors and windows. Even if you keep your cat indoors, your neighbor’s male cat will still be able to hear the female cat and smell it. You’re bound to see a few male cats hanging around the house anyway.
- Leaving the main door or window open, even if it is blocked with a mosquito net, is still not secure. The stubborn male cats can scratch the net to get in with the female cat and make her pregnant without leaving the house.
- Block open doors for cats to come in and out of the house.

Consider neutering your cat. Animal shelters are constantly receiving a lot of adult cats and abandoned kittens. It’s still a question of ethics as we continue to let cats get pregnant. You can take your cat to be spayed at any time. If the issue is cost, many animal shelters and welfare agencies have programs to fund the cost of the procedure. You can check with your local veterinary clinics to find out where you can apply for funding.
Advice
- If you want to raise breeding cats, you need knowledge and some special equipment.
- Remember that cats will meow louder at night and squirm more.
- Note that when a female cat is locked in the house, she will find a way out to mate. Please take care to keep the cat indoors so that the cat does not get pregnant, get injured or get lost.
Warning
- If your cat is bleeding, take her to the vet. You might think that when a cat has sex, it bleeds like menstruation in humans, but those are two completely different things. Female cats do not bleed during sex.
