I have a 7 month old “meezer,” who is due to be spayed on Feb. 27th. Unfortunately, she apparently has come into heat. She was loud before! But now is NON STOP meowing! I feel so bad for her, and me :eek: Lol…anything I can do to help her out? Get her through this as stress free as possible? TIA
Until she mates unfortunately. There is a way to encourage them to ovulate with a q-tip.

She will be like this until she mates?! :eek: Oh good lord…

Yeah, pretty much. I had an unfixed Siamese for two years. Miserable until I got her fixed. Was going to show her, but couldn’t deal with the screaming. I feel for you.

Ok…got a call into the spay clinic to bump up her appointment!!!
LOL, not surprised they bumped the appointment for you. Did they hear your cat in the background? :winkgrin:
Yeah, a cat in heat is a pretty horrendous sound and it’s non-stop. Makes your teeth sweat.
You don’t want to know why the scream when mating.

Horrendous is putting it “lightly”!!! :winkgrin:
And don’t they scream because the male “part,” is, ahem…“rough”?!
Yep, rough as in barbed. With backward facing spines. In one direction it’s fine, in the reverse not so much.
If you watch any of the wildlife type shows you’ll see the big cat females often turn fast and clobber the snot out of the male right after mating. :eek: :lol:
I have 2 female cats, both fixed already thank goodness. I made sure the young one was spayed before her first heat. The other I got as a spayed adult.
I live kind of out in the woods and we have tons of wildlife. There’s been a time or two that my husband will jump a foot and exclaim, “What the HELL was that noise???” thinking I’ll tell him it was something huge and scary because it was so loud and rotten sounding. He’s not sure he believes me when I tell him once in a rare while that that particular noise was some feral female cat in heat. 
It really is a horrid noise, LOL!
Sonesta I can’t imagine a Siamese in heat! They’re already loud as heck, LOL!
Wow, if I’m reading this correctly, I hope my kitty is okay! I’m in the same boat as the OP, except I don’t have an appointment scheduled. I am absolutely going to have this kitty spayed, and she is an indoor-only cat. My neutered male and spayed female have no interest in her hijinks.
Anyway she is about 6 1/2 months old now. Over the past month, she has twice gone into what I thought was heat. She is a Siamese mix so I expected lots of yowling, but she just keeps up a constant trill. Displays her butt, and treads with her hind feet, both of which are characteristic of heat. But both times she has stopped this behavior after two days or so. Definitely not continuous. I hope I’m just lucky, and that there’s nothing wrong with the kitty.
Spaying while in heat is not advisable, right? Seems like it would be hard to avoid if they go into heat and stay in heat until they are bred. Guess I will post this message and call my vet! The time has come to stop procrastinating.
Your male cat may be tricking her body into ovulating.
I think there are issues with extra blood flow when doing a spay operation when they are in heat. I captured two young cats a while back, and one went into heat a few days before their appointment. Vet charged me an extra $50 for the in heat kitten, but didn’t hesitate to do it.
HAHAHA! Sorry. Years and years ago I had a half Siamese who went into heat before I could spay her. It was Torture. I feel your pain. I am not proud to say I would get her a little wet all over before I went to bed so she’d be too busy licking herself to yowl while I fell asleep.

Just take her in. Cats can even be spayed while nursing now.
Cats won’t stop yowling even after they have mated. Mating once doesn’t take them out of heat.
Wait, really? Our young cat went into heat and was a yowling awful mess, but only for about 3 weeks (during which she was kept indoors). We locked her in the bathroom at night. She stopped eventually, and we had her spayed soon after. She was an only cat, but she did have a male suitor who would come to the bathroom window and visit her at night (we saw pawprints in the snow and spray marks) but there was no way she could have mated. The heat went away by itself.
Heats always go away. Usually they only last about a week too.
This has been my experience too. That the heat goes away after a week or so. But it makes for a very long, miserable week! :lol:
One of my girl kitties went into heat, came out of it for a few days, then went into heat again. I think the heat can be continuous if there is something that triggers it.
supposedly you can suppress cat heat cycles by putting them on “winter light” schedules, namely 8 hours light/ 16 hours darkness.
PLEASE do the responsible thing and SPAY her now~
The overpopulation problem is just so terrible.
