Just remembered something from when Sweet Gum went into heat. She wasn't interested in any of the 10 or so toms who turned up, but they enjoyed fighting in the bushes at night. She was in small voice heat, no screaming for 4 days. She went out of heat. But the boys stayed. Then, unexpectedly to us, but not the boys, she went back into heat after two days and stayed in it for another 6 days. When she went out of heat that time most of the boys moved on, but a few stayed around for another week, just in case, I guess.
Boys are hopeful sorts. Sweet Gum was fixed shortly afterward, but a few of the boys drift by to this day.
