Yeah, so our kitten is in heat.
Gross. I know.
But basically what used to be a quiet, albeit weird-ass, cat is now a rolling horny idiot. Since yesterday the damn thing has been crying and crying and rolling and crying.
This is a very unpleasant experience for me.
So tonight I am trying to get some sleep and right outside my door the cat is doing her stupid 'in heat' act.
Two hours later I get fed-up and decide to find out how long this torture will last.
Here is what I found:
Estrus: This is when the female cat is receptive to the male. External signs such as a swollen vulva or bloody discharge, are not as obvious in the cat as they are in the dog. The main signs seen are behavioral -- loud vocalizing, rolling on the floor, elevating the hindquarters and possibly a decrease in appetite. Many people have confused the signs of the feline estrus phase as signs of being in pain. Length: 3-14 days (average of one week). If the female is not mated, she may go back into heat within several days.
So in other words I have to suffer through this until she is done for the season or until my sister gets her damn cat fixed. WHICH the website also said this:
Cats may be spayed while in heat (or pregnant), but there is additional risk due to the engorged vessels and tissue of the reproductive tract -- a higher chance of bleeding during surgery or other complications. The cost of surgery while in heat or pregnant is often higher as well.
Moral of the story FML
