What are the signs of a cat in heat?

Cat estrus is when a cat enters the mating period, usually occurring in spring and summer each year. Here are some signs of a cat in heat:

1. Meowing: Cats in heat will often meow loudly, especially at night or early in the morning.

2. Frequent rubbing against people: When a cat is in heat, it will frequently rub against its owner’s hands, legs and body.

3. Wiggle their buttocks: Cats in heat will wiggle their buttocks to show that they are ready to mate.

4. Pussy licking: A cat in heat will lick its vulva constantly and curl its tail.

5. Prolonged chirping: When cats in estrus feel excited, they will elongate their throats and emit a high-pitched chirping sound, similar to a numb purring sound.

6. Self-cleaning: Cats in heat will also pay more attention to their own hygiene, constantly licking, combing, and cleaning their ears and paws.

In short, the above are some common symptoms of cats in estrus. If your cat has these symptoms, it means that they have entered estrus and need to strengthen their care and management. It is recommended that cats be neutered promptly to avoid unnecessary mating behavior and reproductive problems.
