Does a cat have to yowl to be in heat??
Nora is 7 months old. I have an appt to get her spayed shortly after Christmas.
The past couple days she has been VERY affectionate, but since we got Milo she hadn't been so I chalked it up to adjusting and just getting back to her old self. Now she is also rubbing her face on everything...us, my desk, my cell phone, the sofa...everything. lol
She hasn't done the butt up thing yet, but when I pet her back she puts her tail straight out to the side, which she normally doesn't do. She usually looks like a Meerkat with her tail straight up with a curl at the tip of it, like a question mark. She's done that since we got her.
She also started a new noise today that she has never done before. It isn't a yowl, and she has only done it a few times. It is like a soft, deep, throaty grumble/meow, thing. lol
Do you think she could be in heat or am I imagining things because I don't want her to be?? I'm hoping she holds off until she gets spayed, but I'm afraid I won't be that lucky. Milo is far too young to mate with her (I hope, he is 13 weeks old supposedly) plus he is far too small to physically be able do it. She is much bigger than he is.
