Autumn is the estrus period for cats. Usually cats are over six months old. When their sexual development is mature, they may go into estrus all year round. There is no specific season, but spring and autumn are particularly prominent. If the owner does not plan to breed the cat, he should take the cat for sterilization after the cat reaches sexual maturity. It should be noted that neutering surgery can only be done after the cat is in heat. In addition, do not feed your cat any medicine such as contraceptive pills to avoid causing harm to the cat’s body.
Things to note when cats are in estrus:
1. Cats in estrus have a strong desire to go out to seek mates. Owners should close doors and windows at all times to prevent cats from slipping out.
2. Cats in estrus have relatively low resistance. Pay attention to keeping the cat warm to avoid catching a cold.
3. When the cat is in heat, you can feed it some snacks or use toys to divert its attention.
