How to tell if your cat is in heat

Cat in heat It is fairly easy to tell when your female cat is in estrus, because all cats in heat display similar symptoms.

The first sign is that the cat will become overly affectionate and rub her rear and even head or neck against all objects, other cats and her owners.

The easiest and most obvious way to tell when your cat is in heat, is the call. Your cat will produce a very different, loud long howl. This is to let other male cats in the area know that she is in estrus and her calling will continue until she mates.

A cat in heat will also bend her body in a mating position, with her rear raised, tail in the air and tread around in the same place.

If your female cat shows most of these above symptoms, the chances are almost 100% that she is in heat!
