Hi
My two kittens who are about 4 and a half months/5 months old started to get more and more affectionate and tactile recently. Last night they were 'wrestling' as they do, and when I last looked Maggie was on top of Tiger holding her neck in her teeth (they often do this too!). Anyway, when they separated and stopped playing, I went to rub Tiger and she was very receptive, and rolled on her back for a belly rub and was rubbing the sides of her head off the bedclothes in absolute ecstasy (it seemed to me!
) then she rolled so her bum was in the air a bit but from her middle up was on its side and her front legs were under her, she looked really bizarre and I lifted her onto her legs but the front ones didn't seem to work (they were just under her)and she was very quietly trilling when I rubbed her, I started to panic a bit, she looked like she was paralysed from the neck to the middle, so I got a ribbon (which she cannot resist) and started waving it in front of her and up she got and played away as normal, not a bother on her.
Is this the beginnings of going into heat? Has anyone else had this kind of behaviour? I have no experience with any animal being in heat as until recently only had boys
Thanks!
PS how do I put a photo of my kittens up on my profile?
