I have a female kitten, Jazz, around 5 or 6 months of age, who started making loud continuous lovey, slurpy, purry sounds just today. She's being pretty friendly towards my male cat, Bo (neutered) although that's really nothing unusual. But these sounds are. I know that cats can have kittens as early as 6 months of age - are these loving sounds an indication that Jazz is in heat? Or is she just developing her personality and conversational skills? Bo chirrups and trills all the time so maybe she's just picking up the language from him? I hope so because it's a sweet sound and she's been pretty non-vocal since I found her as a stray 6 weeks ago although she's always been an "easy purr." She is NOT being loud or howling which is a common sign of estrus.
Jazz has an appointment to be spayed in about 3 weeks. Would being in heat affect her behavior in any other ways?
