Katz Tales: How to know when your cat is in heat


Cats in heat will meow a lot. — 123rf.com

Female cats, called queens, typically go into heat when they are about six months old. However, some breeds including the Siamese are known to be “early starters” and can go into heat when they are just four months old.

During this cycle, your pet suffers a surge of estrogen. As she is fertile, her behaviour will change. You can expect lots of meowing, lots of weaving and she’ll be holding her tail up.
