Feline Menstruation

When do young female felines go into heat for the first time?

The female cat begins cycling when she has reached 80% of her adult size and when the days are appropriately long. This could be as young as 5 months of age.

Just a note: Please spay/neuter your pet. Thank you.

Thank you for your very quick response. Just one more question for you. How long does the insanity last???? And yes, she has an appointment at the vet for the end of the month!

Thank you so much for the great information. It has been quite a few years since we have had a kitten in the home. Couldn't remember the characteristics. And yes....A note to ALL pet owners. Take responsibility for your charges. Our pets rely on us soley for their care. Most are not so fortunate. If you are going to take on a new furry family member make sure they receive proper health care. This includes spaying or neutering,

Thank you again =)
