Cats usually start to estrus when they are 7-8 months old, and start to estrus when they are 1 year old at the latest. However, different breeds and living environments will also affect the time when cats are estrus. For example, Persian cats usually start to estrus when they are 10-18 months old. If you do not intend to let your cat breed, it is recommended to sterilize the cat before the first time you are in estrus to prevent cats from suffering from some reproductive diseases.
female cats are seasonal multiple estrus animals, and control the cycle of the estrus cycle through photoperiods. Under sufficient light conditions, female cats usually experience their first estrus when they reach sexual maturity at 5 to 12 months. They will experience friction, roll and scream in the early stages of estrus. Screaming will intensify during estrus, and symptoms such as lifting their tails to one side will appear.
Male cats usually develop completely in both physical and sexual maturity. Male cats usually have initial estrus periods at 9 to 10 months old, and during the estrus period, they will crawl and make urine marks, that is, urinate. After the female cat and male cats are in estrus, they will affect the normal life of the pet owner. The screams of the female cat and the urination of the male cats will cause trouble to the pet owner. Therefore, it is recommended that pet owners choose the right time to sterilize the cat in time after the cat is in estrus.
