My cat finished heat, why are male cats still outside my house?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed

My cat got done with heat 3 weeks ago and now they’re are cats all outside of my house and won’t leave her alone and won’t leave my property. She came in after I took her in when one of the cats hissed at her. She ate and then she threw up which she has never done. She looks really traumatized and there was three of them. Are the other cats trying to fight my cat or are they like marking their territory for the next time my cat is in heat? Because they won’t leave my house.

Keke could be going into heat again. Cats can cycle quickly during certain times of the year. The male cats may be staking out your place to try to mate with her. I would get her spayed as soon as possible. Best of luck.
