Well, I don't think 9 days is very long.  I don't have much experience with kitties in heat.  But I know in males, it can take a while for those hormones to subside and dissappear.  I would think the same for females. 

 

It isn't like an on and off switch.  If it was nine weeks or months, I would say there is a problem.  But nine days, IMO, is no time at all. 

 

Can you put the cat in a room alone so at least she can get out of the cage?  She probably needs to expend some energy too.  Although, a spay is a major surgery, she still needs to stretch out and work her legs.

 

When in doubt, call your vet.  They are the ultimate judge of your cat.  But I just think it's still very early to expect all her symptoms to go away.

I would say, it could take up to ninety days for the behavior to change. Since this type of behavior is both hormoned based and behavior (habit/pattern) based.
