| Hi Linda,
I went thru this with Meg before she could be spayed. I'll bet
she's driving you nuts, and she's probably feeling not to swell
herself!
I really didn't do anything for Meg, except giving her extra petting
and attention (which she absolutely demanded). It only lasted about
8 days for Meg, but she did seem really miserable.
Poor baby!

| I remeber when Portia was in heat. She was trying so hard to get
outside - it was miserable trying to leave for work in the morning.
My advice would be to keep her as far away from the doors as possible.
You don't want to take any chances.
Good Luck

| Katie is in the same situation now. Sure improved our relationship!
Now I have to be careful every step, because she is on/around/under
my feet every second. Fortunately she is going in next week.

| Brittany went into heat during her 5th month. (Can you believe
that I, a long time cat owner, took most of the day to figure it
out--I just wasn't expecting it that young!)
One thing that seemed to help was when Bruce, my fiance, would
carry her around on his arm, palm up, with her back legs straddling
his arm and her chest/front paws resting in his palm. She would
just sit there for as long as he could do it (eventually his arm
would fall asleep).
It really is awful to see them in that state and not be able to
do anything about it. Massaging Brittany's underside helped too
when she stayed still enough to have it done!

| Wow! Isn't 4 or 5 months a little young for a kitten to go into
heat? I thought they had be at least 6 months. My Cali was 10
months when I had her spayed and she hadn't gone into heat at all
during that time. Guess I was lucky!!

| Different cats mature at different rates. Our Birman girls generally
get their first season around 5 or 6 months. There is something
that you can do to make her go out of heat but I hesitate to mention
it here. Send me mail and I will tell you. It is not for the faint
hearted :^o!! Grooming, massaging, etc., around her hindquarters may
make her more miserable since it is stimulation (of a sort :^})
