Hello everybody, I was planning to get my little one (Abby, nearly 6 months old) spayed soon, she was going to get checked this Thursday but I believe she is in heat already...For the past 2 days she's been extremely cuddly, meowing for very long times because she wants to go out and rubbing herself against everything all the time. I normally let her go outside, but I've kept her in since. What i would like to know is if there is anything that I can do to make things better? She seems in pain every now and then, and not very happy about what she's going through! And is there anything else I should be careful about, apart from not letting her out? Any hints and tips? It's the first time I have a cat so I'm a bit lost! thank you!

Hello and welcome

Well done for keeping her in. Try very hard to keep her in, however much she tries to escape.

Get her spayed asap - 5-6 months is the usual age but some vets will neuter at 13 weeks

Just keep her in. Have her spayed once she has stopped calling.

Hi BC, yes no matter what guilt trip she tries to pull(and she will)-keep her in,she's not in pain hun,just a bit horny and maybe a tad confused-she'll get over it especially when she's been spayedAlso you can still take her to the vets on Thursday even though she's in call
