Freya might be in heat, but she's silent and isn't showing any other classic signs of heat, at least that I can see. She's going to turn 10 months.
The only thing I have noticed in the last few days is that she is much less interested in food than she was .
She's a bit more affectionate and it seems she's looking a close contact with me more than in the past. She always jumps on my shoulder in the morning, but it seems to me she's rubbing more against it.
I would have liked to have her spayed at least two months ago, but in March she showed some weird and concerning neurological symptoms, so the vets thought it was safer to wait for any progress in the matter. The last time I spoke with the vet was three days ago. I called her to ask her for her opinion about the spaying, since Freya hasn't had any more neurological or behavior issues since mid May, but the vet told me they would like to wait at least two more weeks.
Last year I had a similar situation with the other cat, Giada. I wanted to have her spayed in March, then the pandemic broke out, everything that wasn't strictly necessary was postponed, then she had a few issues with the giardia and we had to wait, then we found out she has unusual clotting times, so we ran further tests that took time, and eventually she was spayed at the end of last September, when she was 13 months old. She, too, didn't show any signs of heat.
So, the question is, have you ever had a cat in heat with little or no signs of heat and that stopped being interested in food? She plays, is lovely and affectionate, everything looks normal, apart from the interest in food. She spends her days in the window looking at everything is out there.
