Erosity is a normal physiological phenomenon in cats, and it is a reaction caused by cats preparing to breed the next generation after entering the sexual maturity stage. So, is it only big cats that can be found, and kittens won’t have estrus? This is absolutely wrong. Female cats will enter the sexual maturity stage when they are 5-8 months old, usually lasting for 3-7 days, and are in estrus about once every half month. If you have not been conceived, the estrus period will gradually be shortened. The first estrus of a male cat usually occurs when it is 7-12 months old, and usually lasts for 7-10 days.
After understanding what estrus is, you may take it lightly and feel that estrus is nothing. However, the estrus period is actually a relatively difficult stage for the cat or the owner.
Female cats are irritating ovulation animals and have no menstrual period. However, once the female cat enters the estrus period and increases the estrogen, it will stick its butt, walk rhythmically, roll and twist, secrete pheromones, and howl loudly to attract the male cat. Specifically, it will continue to meow, or even continue to wail in "Old Wu, Old Wu, Old Wu"; at the same time, it will be accompanied by swelling of private parts and transparent secretions. In addition, the estrus period can also cause cats to be restless, lose appetite, and be unwilling to eat.
, and male cats generally do not take the initiative to estrus. Usually, after sexual maturity, they will be passive only after smelling the pheromones released by the female cat during the estrus or hearing the screams made by the female cat. Specifically manifested as: manic urination, using this to mark one's own territory and show one's own male charm. At the same time, it will keep making low sounds due to mating desire. In addition, male cats at this time will frequently lick cat hair and genitals in the reproductive area. Running around and fighting increases, and even jumping out or sneaking out to meet mating needs and "running away from home".
