Spring is here, and the peak estrus season for cats has come again. I don’t know if it’s the owner’s pain, or the cats who are troubled by the estrus season.
When the cat is in estrus again, how can the owner relieve the cat and the people from the troubles caused by the cat’s estrus?
Let’s take a look at the ways to relieve cat estrus
Sterilization
For Cats that do not need to be bred and bred, neutering must be a good way to do it once and for all.
Whether it is a male cat or a female cat, neutering will avoid long-term estrus trouble, reduce some reproductive system diseases, and also reduce the trouble to the owner.
More questions about sterilization will be explained more fully in a later article.
Breeding or Isolation
Find a suitable cat for breeding.
But if the cat is too young to breed and breed offspring, it is not good for the cat’s body and offspring.
Because the young cat has not yet developed mature reproductive organs, after breeding Dystocia, weak or stillbirth can easily occur.
So it is best to wait until the female cat is 10-12 months old and the male cat is 1 year old before breeding.
Before that, do it! must! To isolate the cat from the opposite sex, close the window, draw the curtains, isolate the smell, so that the cat cannot see the opposite sex cat outside the window.
Distraction
The owner can play more with the cat when he is at home , Prepare some small toys such as cat sticks to divert the cats’ attention and consume their energy.
And you can also continue stroking the cat’s buttocks, which is a good way to get sore hands, because the cat wants you to touch it all the time.
Music method or food method
Clear and soothing music also has a certain effect on relieving cats during estrus Helping, or providing the cat with the right amount of food they usually like to eat, can also divert the cat’s attention.
Some unsuitable ways to relieve cats from heat:
These include the widely circulated “cotton swab” Dafa” (improper operation can easily cause vaginal infection in cats and cause vaginitis)
There are also forbidden powders (the effect cannot be guaranteed)
Cat estrus time and season
Cat is a seasonal animal that is in estrus many times. In natural environment, sexually mature cats are more common in spring and autumn.
Once the female cat is in estrus, usually the estrus period is about a week, and the estrus interval is two to three weeks, so the frequency of estrus is very frequent, while the male cat is a stimulating estrus.
The female cat’s estrus time: 7-8 months old, the first estrus occurs at the latest one year old (there are individual differences, some will be as early as 6 months old)
The male cat Estrus time: 6-8 months old (individual male cats may show estrus symptoms very late because they are not stimulated by female cats)

If it is a cat that needs to be bred, it is necessary to pay attention to providing them with sufficient nutrition during breeding. After all, their appetite will be reduced due to the influence of the estrus period, and they may suffer from malnutrition and physical weakness.
If the female cat needs to be bred, the weight must reach 3.5 kg, otherwise it will be prone to miscarriage or dystocia. The object selected for mating must be a healthy cat, and it is best to choose to breed in a male cat family.
If the cat is not going to be bred, avoid mating or neuter as soon as possible.
It is best not to sterilize female cats temporarily in estrus.
