What should an owner do if a cat wants a cat?

Not every cat copes with stressful situations equally easily. For example, when an animal needs to be taken to the veterinarian, or to the country, or even to an exhibition. As a result of the move, the cat may become frightened and stressed, after which it will not be itself for several days. Obviously, to help the animal in this case, sedatives for cats are needed during transportation . Therefore, let’s look at what they are, what is worth using, and what is very undesirable.

Signs a cat wants to mate with a cat

The first signs of sexual desire in a pet can be observed as early as 6-7 months of age. These signs are manifested as follows:

Loud scream and purring of a cat.
The appearance of marks throughout the home, which the cat makes during estrus, when she begins to have copious discharge.
While the cat is walking, she stands in certain positions, which indicates a desire to mate with the cat. So, she begins to lower herself onto her front paws, while her croup will be raised and her tail will be moved to the side.
The animal may not eat well or completely lose its appetite.
Frequent urination, uncharacteristic of the usual condition.
The most obvious sign that a cat is asking for a cat is its excessive affection. She will constantly curl around her owner's feet, the legs of tables, chairs and other objects, and purr loudly. There are times when an animal expresses its desire through aggression.

During the period of estrus, the cat begins to constantly meow.
If these signs are present, we can confidently say that the cat wants a cat; in addition, such signs indicate that the animal has reached puberty, and it is from this moment that the owner should decide what to do with the cat and how to solve the problem that has arisen.

About the reasons for inappropriate behavior

First of all, you need to know why a cat yells at night. There can be many reasons for the problem:

Hormones. When a cat is in estrus (heat), night cries are signs of sexual behavior, attracting individuals of the opposite sex. This desire in animals is so strong that it causes psychological and physical torture. This natural phenomenon can be combated with the help of tablets. It is better to prevent it by castrating the animal.
Diseases. If we are talking about an old animal, then it may have a nervous disorder as a result of irreversible changes in the body. In this case, the veterinarian will recommend medications that alleviate the animal’s condition. When a young cat screams at night, this may indicate an injury or severe abdominal pain. You can try to feel it. If the cause really lies in the internal organs, then the cat will react painfully to light compression. Perhaps the animal's abdomen is swollen, resembling a drum. And in this case, you will need the help of a doctor. With urolithiasis, animals feel acute pain when trying to go to the toilet.
Helminthiases. Parasites in a cat's digestive system can become active at night. This causes pain in the intestines and leads to intestinal obstruction. To prevent the problem, you need to regularly deworm your pet.
Attracting the owner's attention. Sociable animals can simply attract attention to themselves by screaming at night without any physical reason. This happens when a cat is alone at home all day. He misses. Knowing that the owner is present at night, the cat begins to remind himself.
Anxiety. Many cats, with their heart-rending screams, anticipate natural disasters, such as earthquakes and tornadoes. There are also weather-sensitive people.
Fight for territory. Not all cats need to be marked in the house. Some make themselves known loudly, especially after moving to a new place of residence. In such cases, the cat stops yelling after a few days.
Reaction to the owner's behavior. If he shows aggression and cruelty towards the animal during the day, constantly kicking and screaming at it, then at night the cat screams loudly, instinctively trying to scare and drive out the owner. The solution to the problem of night screams in this case is to change your attitude towards your pet.

Sexual cycle in a cat

Above we have listed the main signs of sexual heat in cats, but it is also important to know the periods of the animal’s sexual cycle. So, it includes 4 periods. Let's designate each of them:

Proestrus is the initial period, which usually lasts about two days. It is associated with increased anxiety in the cat, excessive appetite, and at this time there is also discharge from the genital opening and swelling of the external genitalia. The animal also makes loud calling cries, but so far does not allow anyone to approach it. This is the period of the so-called courtship of males with females.
Estrus is the period of sexual desire itself, the time when a cat wants a cat. It usually lasts from five to seven days.
Interestrus is a period when the female is no longer interested in males, and she responds to any attempts to mate with aggression. At the time of ovulation, the female is at rest, and in the event of fertilization, embryonic development begins.
Anestrus is a period of prolonged sexual rest, when signs of arousal and estrus fade away.

A sign that a cat is asking for a cat is its excessive affection

How to help a cat during sexual activity?

Important! A cat's first heat occurs at six months of age and lasts for a week with a frequency of several times a year.

During this period, you can observe how the animal rubs against the legs of its owners, as well as against various objects, meows and rolls on its back. In addition, you can notice how the cat begins to mark its home. Of course, this cannot but cause certain inconveniences, so what should you do if the cat wants a cat? There are several options here:

sterilization;
use of special drugs;
patience;
knitting

Sterilization is a surgical operation to deprive an animal of reproductive function.

Important! Perhaps one of the best methods of dealing with this problem is sterilization, which allows you to free both the owner and the animal from suffering.

It is a simple procedure that causes almost no complications. It is carried out in a veterinary clinic or at home from the age of five months. The rehabilitation period passes quite quickly and does not cause any difficulties in care, which involves the treatment of stitches, and they are usually removed on the 10th day. In addition, by spaying your cat, you eliminate the risk of her developing ovarian cancer.

There are sedatives to reduce sexual activity in animals. They can be purchased at any pet store, but you should first consult with a veterinarian so as not to harm the cat.

In the case where the cat is purebred, and mating or taking medications is excluded due to health problems, you will have to endure the time of its sexual heat. Moreover, it does not last long - only a couple of days. Caress the animal, it especially needs it during the period of its sexual activity.

Mating is the easiest way to calm a cat

And finally, mating is the easiest way to help your cat, but to do this, you must first find a suitable cat, and if the animal is purebred, then also register the mating through the club for the subsequent sale of kittens and paperwork. But the difficulties do not end there - you may need the help of a veterinarian during childbirth. And after the kittens are born, they will need some care. Therefore, this method also imposes some obligations and sometimes creates certain problems that not everyone is able to solve; moreover, it is not appropriate for everyone, especially if kittens are not part of your plans.

How to calm a kitten at night?

In kittens, the main cause of the disorder is separation from their mother and siblings. At first the baby is very sad and worried, and will cry at night. However, medications cannot yet be given to such a small kitten. It’s better to just pick him up, make a cozy nest out of his fly cap, or just put a heating pad under the bedding. This will help him calm down and fall asleep faster.

What products help a cat during estrus?

As noted above, there are sedatives that help cope with desire, but do not completely eliminate it. These include: “Fitex”, “Cot-Bayun”, which contain herbal extracts, as well as “Stop-stress”, which contains various chemical components. Regardless of which drug you choose, the effect will be the same - the cat will become passive, lethargic, and sleep a lot.

Fitex helps a cat cope with desire

It is also appropriate to use drugs that are sold in a regular pharmacy. For example, tablets with valerian extract, which, although they cannot stop the release of hormones in an animal, are quite capable of calming it down. Taking one tablet twice a day will make your cat want to sleep, which means it will make much less noise.

You can try using birth control drops. To do this, you need to put 2 drops under your pet’s tongue or into her food, and after making sure that she has eaten everything, take her for mating after 4 hours. This way you can satisfy the cat's needs and avoid the cat bearing offspring. However, you should give such drops to your pet strictly on the recommendation of a veterinarian, who will indicate how to use them correctly. It is also worth noting that it is not recommended to abuse funds of this kind.

The Sex Barrier will help prevent your cat from going into heat.

Hormonal agents such as “Stop-Sex”, “Ex-5”, “Sex Barrier” and others, which are given to the animal strictly according to the regimen recommended by the veterinarian, will help prevent a cat from going into heat. Often, taking such medications is not without consequences, and as a result, severe hormonal imbalance.

Important! Hormonal drugs should be used extremely rarely to avoid breast disease and uterine cancer.

In addition, it makes sense to consult a veterinarian about what to do if a domestic cat wants a cat, and which of the above methods he will recommend using. Typically, veterinarians are supporters of sterilization, which helps to forget forever about the question of what to do during the period of heat when the cat screams and wants a cat. However, only you can decide which method will be the most acceptable and humane for your pet.

Sleeping pills for cats (tranquilizers)

If sedatives for cats do not help your pet during transportation, and you need to transport it from one point to another, you can do this while the animal is sleeping. Although it is recommended to give a sleeping pill (tranquilizer) only on the recommendation of a veterinarian, and even better - to have the doctor inject it himself, in especially severe cases you can take a risk. Of course, if you stick to the dosage and know how to give injections, there is practically no risk.

Sleeping pills for cats for transportation

Below is a list of real sleeping pills for cats that will help transport the animal during sleep. Recommended dosages and route of administration may sometimes change (if the components of the drug change), so always check the package insert for the tranquilizer.

"Vetranquil" - 0.15 ml subcutaneously;
"Butorphanol" - 0.3 ml intramuscularly;
"Relanium" - 0.3 ml intramuscularly;
"Nalbuphine" - 0.2 ml intramuscularly.

Remember, the sleeping pills listed above for cats should never be given at the same time. Also, do not forget to provide the animal with a comfortable position with an elongated neck, as well as access to air and a warm blanket after falling asleep.

How to help a cat with folk remedies during the period of wanting a cat?

There are folk remedies that can be used when a cat wants a cat, in order to use them you need to know what, you need to prepare and how to do everything.

The most well-known methods are the following:

Place the cat's rump in the water for a few minutes, keeping the water temperature relatively low. This will calm the cat for a while.
It’s good to wet the cat so that after that she can divert her attention to licking herself. This procedure will take about 4 hours, so the cat will spend a lot of energy and will probably want to sleep. It is better if this action is carried out closer to night.
An effective remedy is a weak vinegar solution that should be given to your pet.
Veterinarians recommend masturbating the animal, imitating the cat's grip on the cat's withers.
Lubricate the face with butter, which will give it the opportunity to be distracted by washing, which will also take a lot of time.
Give your pet milk to drink, to which you should add soda at the tip of a teaspoon.
Place a large copper plate in the container of water from which the pet drinks for the entire period.
Give a closed bottle of valerian.

To calm the cat, you can dip it in water.
Above, only the main folk remedies were listed that help to cope with the problem of a cat's ora during the cat's period of desire. However, it is worth noting that they provide only a short-term effect. However, during this time, you and your pet will still be able to take a break and survive this very difficult time, as well as ease each other’s fate.

Neutered cat asks for a cat

As for cats whose owners decided to eliminate the problem of the pet’s desire to mate with a female by performing a castration operation, you can often observe how the animal tries to climb on the cat again. Why a neutered cat wants a cat and what to do about it is a question that has a fairly simple solution.

It is advisable to castrate a cat before he has time to be with a cat.

It would seem that after castration the animal should lose interest in the female, but most cats again try to communicate with cats. The thing is that if the male has felt the taste of intimacy at least once, then he will make attempts to take possession of the cat even after the operation, as soon as he gets the first opportunity. And all because he has already begun to produce certain hormones, both by the genitals and the pituitary gland, which are responsible for sexual desire. This is why it is so important to castrate on time to avoid these manifestations.

However, it is still not worth castrating the animal early, since there is a risk of underdevelopment of the urethra, which, in turn, can lead to serious health problems. There is no need to delay this either, because if the cat has time to spend time with the cat, then even castration will not save you from the loud meowing, rolling of the animal on the floor, as well as odorous marks throughout the apartment.

The castration operation is performed by making incisions in the scrotum area, and then the doctor applies special clamps to the spermatic cords and removes the testes. Cats have their ovaries and, in some cases, their uterus removed.

Castration surgery is done by making incisions in the scrotum area.

Now you know the main signs that a cat wants a cat, and what you will need to do in this situation. In addition, knowing the periods of your animal’s sexual cycle, you can prepare in advance to solve the problem of the cat’s inviting cries and groans during sexual heat and ease your fate with it by taking appropriate measures to solve the problem.
