4 Month Old Kitten In Heat

Heat cycles in cats.

4 month old kitten in heat. Heat cycles in cats can last several days up to two weeks and repeat themselves every two to three weeks. For shorthaired cats that is generally around 6 months of age. This started about 5 days ago.

These cycles may start as early as four months old and will continue until a cat is either bred or spayed. Female cats naturally go into their first heat cycle at about six months of age but it may occur anywhere between four and 12 months of age depending on a cat s breed health and the time of year.

Isn t that a bit young to happen. Some kittens go into heat as early as 4 months while longhaired cats may not have a first heat until about 18 months though that is less common. 6 months is about the standard for most cats but not all some mature males around 4 months and females can go into heat at 4 months.

The youngest she can be spayed is usually around 8 12 weeks or she must weigh at least two pounds. I have 2 4 month old kittens in heat and a male 4 month old doing it to them. I don t need 50 million kittens running around my home.

She is 4 month today and in the last week she has been acting a little like she s in heat. Also she is being really affectionate towards me and is suddenly following me around and will always want a cuddle. Call your vet and see just how soon you can get her in there to get spayed.

The only way to prevent a cat from going into heat is to have her spayed as a young kitten before she reaches maturity around 5 months old. The estrus cycle in a cat is stimulated by daylight length with 12. And yes a cat in heat can be as young as only 4 months old i would suggest you bring your.
