Help with an unspayed female

[moosmom]

Don Juan's Mom,

Same here. LuLu was just starting to into heat when I got her into a clinic and had her spayed. Usually, a cat's heat lasts about a week to 10 days. I feel for ya, girl. I tried Feliway and it didn't work. It's strictly hormones in this case. I did cat sit one time for my Dad whose cat he never got spayed (I didn't realize it till just now). Jessie, who hated my guts, never got spayed and was in heat the whole time my Dad was away. UGH!!

My sympathy is with you.

Sigh. Thank you all. I'm planning to make the appointment at the Humane Society on Monday, as soon as I have a vaccination certificate for Remy. She's been "talking" with Zerlina, almost as if Zerlina is consoling with her.

I've never experienced a female cat in heat but I'm sorry to hear that you have to go through this. Hopefully she'll be able to be spayed quickly so that she won't go into another heat cycle. I know that Don Juan is neutered but isn't there another cat other than Remy and Zerlina also living with you? Hopefully if it's a male, he's already neutered.

Congrats on your engagement! So have you set a wedding date yet?

No worries there. Rugger isn't capable of being a Don Juan, either. But Remy is a real Miss Houdini, and we do worry that the next time she escapes she'll meet a tom that she likes.

We're talking about sometime in the spring.

You have no idea how lucky you are. Some days I just want to toss her onto the balcony & close the door to escape her non-stop screaming. I swore she was in heat for 6+ months straight, with a few days off here & there. Thankfully shes getting spayed any hour now. Shes at the vets right now waiting to get her lady gutts ripped out. I know Digi will be happy now to have Cam rubbing up against her like she would... oooo Digi would get so mad at her after being harassed like that lol poor Cam...


Soon we'll both be able to sleep again

I didn't know you couldn't have a female kitty in heat spayed.

You can. Cam's current vet charges an extra $15 to spay a cat in heat as the procedure is a little harder to do.

I believe most vets would prefer not too, but with the cat over population I think more & more vets are doing it to help control the over population.

We've got an appointment with the Humane Society on July 7. Gotta drop her off there between 6:30 and 7:30am. And had to pay a $25 non-refundable non-transferable deposit. If the little stinker is still in heat then I'll be .
