In Heat

A cat in heat, or estrus, is a natural reproductive phase characterized by specific behaviors and physical signs:

1. Vocalization: Excessive meowing or yowling to attract males.
2. Restlessness: Increased activity and agitation.
3. Affection: Seeking attention and affection.
4. Rolling and Kneading: Displays of restlessness.
5. Urinating More: Marking territory to attract males.
6. Tail Position: Elevating the rear end when petted.

During pet travel, a cat in heat may exhibit intensified behaviors. Spaying is the most effective way to manage this phase, preventing unwanted pregnancies and the associated stress on your cat. Consult your vet for guidance on the best approach to address a cat in heat, ensuring a calm and stress-free travel experience for both you and your feline companion.
