It is normal for a cat to develop into heat as prematurely as 4 or 5 months old. A cat would go into heat once she develops reproductive maturity at an estimated 6 months old. If encouraged to mate with a male cat, a cat in heat is sexually willing to respond and might get impregnated. Each heat can last nearly six days on average, with the cycle normally reiterating every three weeks if conceiving is ineffectual. So it becomes necessary to know a few ways to calm a cat in heat.
- Keep the female cat distant from healthy male cats or tomcats while in heat. In addition, by becoming more aggressive when a tomcat is around, your cat could become impregnated if she is encouraged to couple up. Male cats could be loitering around your household, enticed by the odor of the female cat.
- Allowing your cat the opportunity to play may potentially pacify your cat when she is in heat. P puzzle feeders are wonderful for trying to keep your cat physically active and allowing her an opportunity to demonstrate her natural predatory instinct, which might also help keep her diverted when she’s in heat.
- Supplying your cat with a warm and heated surface to lounge on could help her relax and cozily. A heating pad is also a suitable choice.
- A cat in heat sometimes spews pee on flat surfaces letting other cats know she is readily accessible. Maintaining a safe and healthy litter box for the cat might entice her to use it as contrasted to splashing outside it.
Calming the cat in heat is not as difficult as it might seem if things are done properly.
