I'm confused. Do female cats have monthly periods or go into heat?

Question

Do cats get periods every month? Pet's info: Cat | Persian | Female | unspayed | 1 year and 5 months old

Andrea M. Brodie, DVM · Accepted Answer

No, cats do not get a period at all. The come in heat 2-3 times /year. When a cat is in heat she exhibits very loving behavior, becomes very vocal and rolls on the floor. Cats stay in heat until they mate as mating ends the heat (triggered ovulation). You can search videos on line showing cats in heat.
