My momma foster kitty is driving me nuts. We had a check up today and one of the kittens isn't quite big enough to be spayed, so we're putting off momma and kittens surgery for another week or 2. I figured it would be easier if they all had it done at the same time (mom and two 10 week old kittens). They all got a shot and slept most of the day away. Then momma woke up and I'm pretty sure she's in heat! Either that or she's lost her mind
. She's a very, very vocal cat to begin with. Now she's constantly yowling very loud. She's got the butt up in the air and doing this vibrating thing. She's belly crawling on the floor with her tail up in the air...just acting crazy.
So my questions...she's in heat, correct? How long does this torture continue? Does she have to be finished with her cycle before surgery? Oh, and this may be sound stupid, but should I seperate her from her male kitten? He's not old enough, right? I think sexual maturity in cats is around 5-6 months...
Thanks! I'm not new to cats by any means, just new to cats who aren't fixed yet. New world to me!
