I think my kitty is about to go into heat very soon, but I'm not sure if she is already? My family has only had cats that were already spayed and neutered in the past so we're not sure. The vet said last month that it was going to be soon and that she would need to be spayed. My dad has always been saying the past few days that we should, but he never gets around to it (very annoying).
The last 3 days she's been very destructive, tearing up paper and anything her teeth can rip into. She normally doesn't do this, unless toilet paper is kind of lying around, but this time it was on the toilet ring thing. She's also being a lot more vocal, at night I heard her meowing very differently. Then today she's been more loving, almost sad looking. I don't think she's sick because she still has high spirits and will play. But awhile ago my family and I were in the kitchen and I put her on the floor and she started to scoot her butt up in the air with her tail up a little too. She kept raising it, and meowed a little. My mom scratched right before her tail and she kept raising her butt really high up. Now she's walking around funny and meowing when I just call her name and wants to be near me.
Is she in heat, or about to start? Can you get a cat spayed if she's in heat or do you have to wait until it's over? I'm nervous she'll want out even more, and find a way out and get pregnant (she's very sneaky, and has done that once when she was smaller). She's almost a year, around the end of September she'll be one.
