My cat is in heatand she won't stop meowing. She has had a few heats before this and each time the meowing gets worse. Right now it sound like someone's sitting on her. Can anyone help??
Please don't even think it! <shudder> I can't tell you how many people I know who rescue, still up to their ears in kittens. Kittens with no homes to go to.Originally Posted by meminikitty
I agree. When I asked a question about my cat being in heat, I was informed she'd keep coming in heat every 2 weeks... until either PREGNANT or SPAYED.
So unless you are hoping she gets pregnant, I'd get her spayed.
Please get her spayed.
True, true. Although I couldn't help saying that if your cat did turn up pregnant, please don't spay. That's killing the kittens inside of her, exactly like an abortion, no matter how under developed they are.Originally Posted by Dusty's Mom
PLEASE GET HER SPAYED!
Here is how you can find low cost clinics in your area:

Even if she is pregnant or in heat, you can and should still get her spayed.
My newest kitten Squeak was spayed yesterday. She is fine, and has slept more than normal, but she will be good as gold by the end of the week.
When a cat comes in heat, she is in a state of unfulfilled sexual arrousal. It is unfair and uncomfortable to your cat. Also unspayed cats have higher incidence of cancer and other diseases. For the comfort of your cat. For the health of your cat. And for the overpopulation of cats that results in millions being killed every year, PLEASE SPAY YOUR CAT!
You are right, it is much less cruel to kill kittens that aren't fully formed than to euthanize a kitty in the shelter, I agree with you on that.Originally Posted by LDG
Memini Kitty - is it cruel to kill unwanted kittens that haven't developed into kittens yet? Many of us on TCS rescue cats, and many of us feel very strongly that while everyone should follow their conscience, it is much less cruel to prevent unwanted kittens from being born.Of course - the very best option is to be responsible, and have our cats spayed and neutered so they cannot parent unwanted kittens.
