First, the performance of cats after estrus
Female cats: female cats reproduce after estrus The organs will be swollen, and although the cat will not menstruate, there will be a small amount of white mucus coming out. Many female cats become clingy after they are in heat. They like to rub against their owners repeatedly, and they also like to roll on the ground. Many cats have a loss of appetite and howling day and night after they are in heat.
Male cats: When male cats are in heat, they will howl day and night, mainly to attract female cats of the opposite sex. In addition, the male cat’s genitals are also in a state of congestion when they are in heat, and they will also urinate everywhere, spilling urine vertically on an object.
After the male cat is in heat, its territorial awareness will become stronger, and its character will become more domineering and irritable. If it is unhappy, it will even attack people.
Second, how to care for cats during estrus?

When the cat is in heat, the body’s energy consumption will be accelerated due to the influence of hormones, so it needs more nutrition. If the cat has symptoms of decreased appetite at this time, the owner needs to pay attention to feeding the cat some food that he usually likes to eat to ensure that the cat can get enough nutrition.
2. Increase interaction
The cat’s estrus is a physiological instinct and is not under their own control, so if the cat has any strange behavior in the process, the owner should try to be tolerant and understanding . Spend more time with the cat, and often play games with the cat with toys such as cat sticks, which can divert the cat’s attention and relieve the pain caused by estrus.
3. Close doors and windows
When cats are in heat, they will try to run away from home and find cats of the opposite sex for mating. In order to prevent cats from getting lost, the owner must close the doors and windows when going out. High-rise residents should remember to install protective nets to prevent cats from jumping out of windows or falling directly to death.
Notes: Cats have weak immunity during estrus, and the female cat’s cervix is open, so remember not to take a bath. If the cat is dirty, you can wipe it with warm water first.
