Why did my 1.5-year-old Persian cat stop playing after her heat?

Question

I have a 1.5 year old female persian cat. A couple of months ago she was as playful as can be, running up and down the house with me chasing her. We both loved it! But suddenly she stopped playing completely, like COMPLETELY( not at all!). I tried everything, new toys and what not but she won't even look at them. A couple of days later, her heat cycle started up, and I had her given harmonal injections. She's not yowling anymore but only wants to be outside 24/7. She's still not playing. Help? Pet's info: Cat | Persian | Male | unneutered | 1 year and 7 months old | 10.8 lbs

First of all, avoid the hormonal injection as it is known to cause cancer! it's normal for a persian cat to stop playing at that age, especially when comming in heat. i would strongly recommend having her spayed ASAP.
