پیشو له پیشو څخه پوښتنه وکړه: پیشو څنګه ارامه کړه؟

Loud meowing, turning into howls or squeals, rolling on the floor, outbursts of aggression, attempts to escape from the house to the “grooms” – all these are manifestations of the period when the cat asks for a cat. At this time, under the influence of activated sex hormones, your pet may behave strangely and even frighteningly. More details in the article.

At the first signs of estrus in a cat, you should first make sure that these are just manifestations of estrus. Sometimes these symptoms may indicate the presence of a disease. If the cat behaves restlessly, but does not rub against objects and people, does not raise its tail to the side, then, indeed, we can talk about malaise, and not about estrus. 

When do cats reach puberty?

The first estrus in your pet can be observed already from the age of six months, that is, when the girl kitten turns into a young cat. Even before the onset of the first estrus, it is important to decide whether you plan to have offspring or sterilize the pet. An unsterilized cat, in the absence of mating, may show signs of estrus – asking a cat, quite often. 

What to do if a cat asks a cat

Active sexual behavior of a cat can cause stress and force the owner to look for ways to calm the cat when she wants a cat. There are several options to help your cat calm down. More affection and attention

It is important to provide your pet with additional attention and care during this difficult period. You can talk to her and caress her. Even just being next to the owner, the cat will feel calmer. It is important to ensure that the household is patient, despite the fact that the cat is very intrusive during this period.

1. Minimize irritants

The cat’s litter box should always be kept clean and external irritants kept to a minimum, such as loud noises. Some cat owners find that when a cat asks for a cat, additional warmth, such as a warm towel, electric heating pad, or electric blanket, can help calm them down.

2. Hormonal drugs

Many owners try to purchase special drugs that allow them to suppress sexual desire in cats – veterinary contraceptives. They are sold in the form of tablets, injections, drops. With their help, they increase the onset of estrus or even stop it when it has already begun. 

Each owner should decide for himself whether to use such drugs or not. Some consider them a real salvation, while others say that they negatively affect the health of animals and can even lead to undesirable consequences.

Cats should be given hormonal preparations strictly according to the instructions, without missing a dose. There are contraindications, it is better to consult a veterinarian. The doctor will need to tell:

• how many times the cat was in heat before the moment of treatment;
• what is the behavior of a cat during estrus;
• whether you plan to neuter or have offspring in the future.

3. Sedative drugs

If hormonal preparations cause concern among the owners in terms of their impact on the health of the animal, then herbal preparations in the form of drops, collars, fumigators do not affect the synthesis of sex hormones. They act on the cat’s nervous system, but to be effective on sexual arousal, they must be used for a long time.

Before use, consult a veterinarian and follow the instructions. Do not use drugs intended for humans! 

What not to do when a cat asks a cat

You can’t yell at a pet that needs your attention, even if it is intrusive and annoying with its harassment. This difficult period is stressful for both the owner and the cat itself. It goes without saying that in no case should force be used – this can lead to adverse consequences.

Whatever method the owner chooses to calm a cat that wants a cat, it is necessary to take into account its individual physiological characteristics. You can not neglect the trip to the veterinarian – it is best to solve the issue of estrus relief based on his recommendations.
