Life Changes
Life can change in a moment notice, and with changes in my life comes a new element of stress in the cats. They are used to me being easy-going and tranquil around them, and lately when I come in the room they are all around me as if to try and comfort me. I woke up last night with Oliver draped on my head, Tipster on my legs, Chappy on my chest and Riley on the shelf over my head. That was a first. I took comfort in their presence and was lulled back to sleep on a sea of purrs.
Bently is in heat-at not even 3 and a half months, she is in silent heat and Matuese wastes no time in mounting her when she starts to crouch. Thank God he has been neutered. That is all I need, a litter of kittens! I called the vet, but she is to young for him to consider spaying so tomorrow I will do some long-distance calling and see if I can find another vet that does early spay and neuter-

My kitten’s mother growls at her offspring at various times. Usually I though it was because she didn’t want her kitten playing with her tail. But some other website said feral cats in heat are tempermental.
Also, when do female adult cats usually go into menopause?
Thank you.

Barbara, your female cat should be spayed by now. She has given you some kittens and now you should just improve her health and get her spayed. Keeping your cat intact will bring you more problems than you really want to deal with. It opens up the female to health issues like pyometra and mammary cancers. The very best thing you can do for this cat is to trap her (if she is not inside) and take her to the vet.
