I remember when my female cat, Ginger, first started her heat cycle. She was uncontrollably meowling while everyone tried to sleep during the nights, and even in the mornings when everyone tried to work. Let’s just say that it was a very traumatic and unproductive week for all of us at the house. I even ended up sleeping in the office during the day, because I did not get even a wink of sleep during the night. This is also left our house reeking with urine smell for weeks on end. The heat cycle of a cat can last for as short as 1 day to as long as 7 days, and during this time female cats can become restless and highly irritable at the same time. When a female cat is in heat they are basically looking for a male cat to copulate with and breed little kittens of their own, if not, the female cat would continue to exhibit such behaviors until her heat dies down. However, when mating does not happen in that cycle, she will continue to go in and out of her heat every 1 to 2 weeks. The heat cycle of a female cat therefore is completed every 3 weeks, unlike female humans whose cycles last for 28 days or more.
