3. In Heat

Just like in people, female cats will undergo a menstrual cycle. While there are similarities, the cycle is quite different to that in people, and whereas in people menstruation is known as a period, in cats (and other animals) it is known as coming into heat. Being in heat will cause various changes in the cat’s body. One way that you might notice that your cat is in heat is that they will start meowing a lot more than they usually would.

It can get quite irritating, and is one reason why spaying cats is a good idea. It is very likely that a mature female cat that has not been spayed will get pregnant.
