Hi everyone!! I'm a bit new here but I came on because I have a very serious question and I figured this is where all the cat experts are.
OK, so it all started yesterday morning. I have a young 5 month old tabby, who usually tolerates my hugging, kissing, cuddling etc. Well, yesterday morning, she completely changed. She was rolling around in the dirt, purring and circling my ankles, and just begging to be picked up. She even insisted I give her a belly rub (so cute) and so I did and she bit my hand but insisted I keep rubbing her belly. So yeah, I did, thrilled she wanted my attention. Then I realized... could this be her first heat?!
Well, she was gone all day after that. I usually have her in the backyard with my 3 basset hounds who absolutely adore her
but she does get out occasionally. I know I sound irresponsible, I have my other two female cats spayed, for some reason she isn't, and I can't get her spayed until November now, just to let everyone know. So anyways...
She was gone. I worried all day, because she was gone for hours on end. Then, last night, she returned, I was thrilled and fed her. She seemed to want nothing to do with me anymore. She tolerated my hugs as usual and trotted off, a bit disgusted. So, I was thinking, well, well, well, my little Minnie is back to normal again. But I was still worried because we have toms all over our neighborhood...
Then, last night, around midnight, I woke up to yowling. Sounded like a cat fight. I did some research and realized this might as well be my cat mating but I'm not sure. So advice please? Sorry if this was confusing, ask questions and I'll answer them
