Last week, I made an appointment to get my 6 month old kitten spayed. The first available appointment was April 18th. Today, my kitten went into heat for the first time.
We have an adult male cat who's neutered, but he's been mounting the kitten all day - biting her on the neck to hold her down and all that. We can break them up when we see them, but what about at night, or when we're not home? He's SO much bigger than she is. Could he hurt her? Their litter box is in the basement so it would be difficult to separate them at night, although not impossible.
We've never gone through this before and would love some advice.
