Is my unspayed cat in pain? She's growling and drawing legs up.

Question

My cat, female, has been acting fine for years. No health problems or anything. Out of the blue, she starts this growling sounds, like she is in heat and she draws her back legs up for a few seconds. She will curl up in a ball after that. She will also make like a snort sneeze sometimes while doing this. She only does this for a few hours. She has no fever, eats and drinks normal, plays around, regular bathroom trips. She is not spayed. No other signs of being in heat. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 8 lbs

It sounds like Rosalie may be in pain. If this is a new behavior and if she continues to eat and drink well, it may be OK to watch her for a day to see if the signs resolve. However, if she does not improve or if she stops eating and drinking, becomes lethargic or starts vomiting or having diarrhea, you should get her to a veterinarian immediately.
