Why are my unspayed cats suddenly affectionate and meowing?

Question

Hi, My two cats have been acting strangely. They are laying in a box and licking each others faces and heads with an occasional meow. They normally never lay together and usually hiss at each other. When I go pet them in the box one or both will meow. They have come out briefly and they both seem to be eating and drinking. They are not fixed so could be in heat, but it's different then usual. Another important note is we recently found bed bugs. It is also humid out. Any thoughts? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 4 years and 6 months old

Hi, I hope Bonnie and Scarlet are doing well. heat cycles can cause some abnormal behavior in cats, so this may be it. As long as they are eating and drinking and using the litter box well, I don't see a medical emergency. Bedbugs can move to animals but usually don't cause a problem. I would examine them both for signs of bugs or red spots and treat with a medication called revolution you can get from your vet. The weather may be another factor. If it is unusually warm out, they may be just laying around and not very active. I would monitor them both carefully for signs of not eating or not using the litter box properly and if you do see that, take them to a vet. Good luck, I hope this helps!
