My Corky is in heat. She is an indoor only cat and the 2 males inside are fixed. We just haven't had the money to get her fixed yet (she is almost a yr old) but are planning to next month. Here's my question. When females go into heat, so they start peeing outside the litter box? We just moved into a new house and we have had a few problems with litter boxes but just chalked it up to stress over the move. That's understandable. It stopped...then a few weeks ago we starting finding tiny puddles, not full fledged bathroom breaks (for lack of a better term). At the same time, Corky started getting more demanding for attention...wanting to be petted constantly. She is normally a loving kitty, but not "needy". Now, she is in full blown heat, cooing constantly, tail to the side, rolling and purring all over everything. And today I was watching TV and she squatted right in front of me and dribbled, then went about her buisness.
To make a long story short (too late, I know) is this because she's in heat or is there another problem? Has anyone else experienced this with a cat in heat? Like I said, we're making an appointment to get her fixed next month...but do you think I should take her in before that? We were thinking since she wasn't getting any boyfriends maybe instinct is telling her send out invites?
