Title: spraying
Post by: caz1979 on July 06, 2012, 20:27:37 PM

Hi
Was just wondering do girl cats spray? As just caught Poppy spraying and she seems like she's in heat(sorry if that's not the right term) but a mate said to me are you sure she's a girl! Vet never said she wasn't lol

Yes.  Both male and female cats spray.  What make you think she's in heat?

Yup that sounds about right.  She about 5 months now isn't she?  :Luv: 

Hope the inappropriate peeing has stopped  :hug:  Are you planning on having them neutered?

Most vets say 6 months in the UK and prefer to perform the op when they are not in heat although I don't think it's a huge problem if they are in heat.  Our Milly and Ruby had their ops just before 6 months and I recall one of them was in heat.  Ruby I think. 

I certainly recall Milly being in heat from 5 months.  What a tart!  She wouldn't leave poor Fred alone  :-[  He didn't know where to look  :shocked:   Good job he was nutless  ;)
