Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 1 year old
Hello, my pet cat (9 months old) is not feeling well for past two days. On the very first day she was vocally active (howling type sound), on the second day she started rolling on the ground, making her pelvis abrupt and licking her private part. I surfed over net and came to know about it to be estrus cycle. What should I do to calm her? I can't bear her in such situation.

Yes you are correct that these symptoms indicate she is in heat. There aren’t too many things to do here besides getting her spayed to remove the hormones. Hormones are strong and can’t be subdued in most situations. You can try having your vet place her on an anti-anxiety medication but the results will vary since these are not labeled for this particular issue. It’s best to spay her if you don’t want kittens. This helps keep her healthy in the long run. Best of luck with your pet kitty. Take care.
