Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Lucy is adorable! If Lucy isn't spayed she is likely in heat. She will continue to go in and out of heat until she is either bred or you spay her. She likely wants to get outside to mate. If she is spayed then she may see or hear other outdoor cats and want to get outside. Cats are very territorial. I would clothes the blinds and capture and release the feral outdoor cats in a different location. I hope this helps and I wish you and Lucy the best!
