Just Got Spayed And Acting Like She Is In Heat

[violapatch]

My cat Pepsi is 1 years old and she just got spayed literally a few hours ago. She had just started her heat cycle a few days prior to the surgery but I couldn't change the date of the surgery since it was non refundable and non transferable. So she had to have surgery during her heat cycle. Now she is back home after surgery I noticed that whenever my brother comes to see her she acts as if she is in heat. She does her little noises that she does in heat and she goes low on the floor. She doesn't put her butt up but whenever she is in heat she is very vocal whenever she's near my brother. I'm just confused as to why she is exhibiting heat behavior since she literally just got spayed this morning.

it can take a few weeks for all the hormones to leave her body, and she had lots of them, since she was in heat.
