My cat had kittens. What are signs she's in heat again so soon?

Question

So since its possible for shadow to go into heat again so soon after having kittens, what are signs/symptoms that she is in heat? She's being very loving and meowing at me like crazy but she also has some blood coming out of her private area and I figure that is normal for a cat after having kittens but I also know that is one sign of a female cat in heat.

Cats are often going into heat within 2 weeks after weaning the kittens. The discharge is called lochia and can last several weeks after the kittens are born. I recommend spaying these cats right around the time the kittens are weaned, or within that 2 week period after, to insure they do not get bred again. Then you won't have to worry about Shadow having another litter.
