Female cats will menstruate when they go into heat for the first time, which is around 8 months old. ​​​​​​

During the period of estrus, female cats will show symptoms such as loss of appetite, anxiety, frequent urination, barking, swelling of the vagina with secretions, etc. This situation usually lasts for about a week.

If the owner does not intend to let the female cat reproduce, he should take her to be neutered as soon as possible, which can indirectly extend the cat’s lifespan.
