so we went from two pets to 5: 2 cats,2 guinea pigs and a hamster.So my question is what in the world do you do you do for a cat in heat she walks around meowing like she is dying,driving me nuts.

Get her spayed.  And yes, they WILL do it while she is in heat.  They did mine.  It was the first female I had ever had.  And when she went in to heat I thought she was dying. I had never experienced anything like that.  She would come thru the house meowing crazy and flop down in the floor.  I don't remember how long after but it was soon, I took her to the vet and got her spayed.

The estrous cycle generally ranges from 1 to 6 weeks, with 2 or 3 weeks being the average. Get her spayed ASAP!

So cats can be in heat every week?  When I googled it - it said it is seasonal and more like twice a year.  ??

Maybe their behavior is based on their anticipation of when they get to heaven what it will be like.

Dogs only go into heat twice a year.

Cats are seasonally polyestrous, which means they have multiple heat cycles during their breeding season. They need 12 hours of sunlight for a normal heat cycle, so generally their season is spring through fall. If they don't get pregnant or spayed, the heat cycle repeats over and over. It's less likely to happen every week, but it's possible. Generally it's every 2 or 3 weeks. Then in the late fall through winter, they go through an inactive period (anestrous). It is possible for cats living in warmer climates and indoor cats (because of artificial light) to go into heat year round.

I am not a fan of animals.  Do not have a pet.

See if a shelter can help you get her fixed and in meantime keep her inside.

Give your cat something warm to sit on, a warm, wet towel or a electric heating pad. Play with your cat, it'll distract her temporarily.  Petting, scratching or brushing her lower back can be more effective.

No idea...there's always neighbor's cats acting like that at night outside our house.
They scream like something's attacking them and then after they wake us up, they disappear into the night.

Our precious pup, Tommy, passed away five years ago.  We had him for 13 1/2 years.  We decided to be pet-free and enjoy our grandpups.  It is so hard to travel when you have pets.

Below are programs that provide low cost or free spay/neutering, listed by state. Some programs work only with pets of people with low incomes. Some do not consider income but serve only pet cats -- or only feral (untame) cats. But other programs serve all kinds of dogs and cats. We believe the listing details below are correct at this writing, but call the program to be sure.

A Free Spay and Neuter program is the only key solution to reduce the number of unwanted animals needlessly killed and born into a society that does not care. We should stop killing and help pass a Free Spay and Neuter program. By offering Free Spay and Neuter assistance to the general public this program can be achieved.

If you know about other low cost or free spay and neuter programs or if you have updates to our listings, please Email us.

If you don't find a service listed for your area, don't give up. First, call the offices of Spay/USA and of Friends of Animals (see Nationwide below). They have information about discount spay/neuter services in many towns across the country.
