Audrey's gone into heat.

[chowmama]

The Furballs are 4 months old. This isn't the right time of year for her heat, but it wasn't the right time of year for her birthing them, so her timing seems to be off anyway. It's not impossible, just unusual.

She's driving Fast Eddie bonkers. He doesn't particularly like her anyway, so he finds her following him around, crooning and posturing (full kowtow, chest to ground, butt in air, ears in a non-threatening position) just weird. He was neutered as a young feral, so he's been out of that line of work forever. He has no idea what to do. I don't know who I'm sorrier for; him or her. She's got the screaming thigh sweats and he can't get her to leave him alone.

Now she is getting spayed in a couple weeks, so it should resolve itself. But the stress level around here is kind of high. Cat's in heat, DH has shingles, work's completely insane, and Trump's in the White House. I'd ask what's next, but I don't want to hear the answer.

2. Nothing worse than a teenager in heat!

Oh, it's a cat? Still applies!

Keep her indoors before any intact males get a whiff of her pheromones.

But rest assured, you are strong, you are . . . cue Helen Reddy 'I am woman' song . . . and you will cope. Persist!

4. There is no longer a "time of year" for heat

That cycle is no longer applicable.
Cats go into heat all year long.

5. Aww, poir Audrey!

And poor Fast Eddie, and poor you, having to deal with all that! (Although I have to admit, your description of Audrey's hijinks and Fast Eddie's reaction made me literally lol!)

I hope Audrey's heat is over as fast possible and that your DH's hives are over soon, too!
