Why is my cat in heat again so soon after her last cycle? Is it normal?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

If cat doesn't mate how may times she's going into heat? Because my cat one month before she was in heat now she's acting like she's going into heat is that normal?

Hi and thanks for your post on Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Yes this can be normal. If she doesn't mate while in heat, then she may go out of heat for and come back into heat 1-2 weeks later. She may continue to come back into heat every couple of weeks during the breeding season (January-September) until she is bred. I hope this helps!
