When can I walk my cats if one is in heat and they can't be separated?

Question

I have a stray mommy cat who is in heat I also have her baby cat who is 9 months old I want to take the baby cat on a walk but they freak out when separate so do I wait until the mommy cat is no longer in heat to take both of them walking. Pet's info: Cat | Bombay | Female | unspayed | 2 years and 7 months old | 10 lbs

Yes, it is probably better not to walk her when she is in heat. Cats often will stay in heat until they get bred so my recommendation is that if you don't plan on breeding her you should have her spayed ASAP. Otherwise this is going to be a constant issue. I'm not sure of the age or sex of the "baby cat" but if that kitten is a male then I suggest you separate them once he is 6 months of age otherwise he will breed her when she is in heat....... Hope this answers your question. If you have more please feel free to post again. Best wishes.
