Hi guys!
Hope you can give me advice on whether this is normal.
My cat was spayed while she was in heat, which we have done for another cat of ours previously. The recently spayed cat has been yowling and pawing at my door to enter my room, while she has been continuously seeking out my (neutered) male cats for affection. Her meowing can last for hours, she's doing it as I type this out.
We thought getting her spayed would be able to spare her from the stress of estrous, as well as us from the signs of her heat. It's weirding us out that she's still acting as though she's in heat, very outside her normal behaviour of being independent while loving the occasional pet.
I've checked and double checked her incision site to make sure it's doing ok - while she has removed her own stitches, the wound is not bumpy, red, inflamed or leaking any sort of pus or fluid. She does not even mind us touching her incision, so it doesn't seem to be causing her any pain. Her incision site is really only a quarter inch long, absolutely tiny as the clinic she went to is a locally known clinic that specialises in SNR programmes. I tried putting her in a onesie multiple times, but she's a wriggly SOB and would wiggle out of it once she was out of sight.
The cat previously spayed while in heat immediately stopped all signs of her heat cycle, while B1 (Banana 1, ala Bananas in Pajamas) is still going at it. The usual duo of music and catnip/silvervine does nothing to calm her.
Any help is appreciated, because I'm slowly having my sanity chipped away. She's louder than our other yet-to-be-spayed cat who is also in heat!
