Thank you for submitting your question regarding Paro. Cats are animals that are seasonally polyestrus. This means they can have multiple heat cycles during the breeding season. Signs of heat are excessive vocalizations, being more affectionate and many cats will roll around on the floor. Most will not have evidence of vaginal bleeding, but they can lick their genitals more frequently. They will also attract tom cats. I hope this information helps!
