        <![CDATA[ My young cat is exhibiting strange behaviour, chirrupping and calling constantly. She must be calling for a mate, we are going on holiday in two days and will be having her spayed on our return, we just need to know how long the season lasts, do we need to lock her in the house when we are away just in case a local tomcat hears her calling. We are unsure of her age as we found her, she is the smallest of our kittens but appears to be older with her mating behaviour. ]]>

			<description><![CDATA[ I've been offline for some time and am just now reading the threads, but thought I would address the length of heat times in cats that's mentioned in this topic. Cats are prolific breeders, unlike dogs. A female cat can go into heat repeatedly, back to back within one year, until she's bred or spayed. <br>
<br>
An estrous feline's first heat of her life is usually a couple of days; thereafter, the heat cycle gets longer and more frequent. A female in heat may not show estrous behavior at... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Thanks for all your replies, I forgot to mention that we have a young male cat which has already been neutered and the cats are only outside in an enclosed garden with walls 20foot high at the lowest levels and even higher in other places. The only way other toms could get to her would be over the roofs if it were possible (not absolutely sure that they could but cats are curious at the best of times without being driven by their natural sexual urges)We will probably keep them in whilst we... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Yep, sounds like heat to me.  Please, please, please keep her inside, with no possible escape routes.  And have her spayed as soon as you come back from your vacation.

			<description><![CDATA[ I agree with Joanne.  Keep her inside.  I'm not sure on how long they are in heat, but it isn't long between cycles once they are mature enough to mate.  <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :catlove3 --><img src=http://www.sniksnak.com/ez/sm/catlove3.gif ALT=":catlove3"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Do keep her in,as females go looking for males as well as males come looking for females,female cats can come into season as young as 16 weeks, most vets prefer to spay a cat out of season so waiting will be fine unless you think she may be pregnant already. Remember it is not only unwanted kittens,but immune diseases that you cat is vulnerable to when she is allowed out to mate with any or all males that will appear at your door.<br>
