Yup, that sounds like the oestrous position and it shws that she is ready to mate. As all the others have said, it really is best to get her spayed. Breeding from an animal of any sort can arise in all sorts of complications and costs for a first-time breeder, so please please just get her spayed, the RSPCA has enough homeless cats at the moment so it would be the better thing to do.

I noticed that you are in England too, and I know that people here don't always neuter their toms, so when you do decide to let her out (presuming you do, I'm not sure) she will wander onto a tom's territory. She sounds like she is in heat so she will be mated, and this really is not a good idea. Both animals should always be in the best of health and if she mates with a tom in the street the result is most likely sickly kittens, and no-one wants that.

Good luck with your cats.
