My cat is always in heat. Is this normal or a sign of a health issue?

Question

Is it true that multiple heat cycles indicate cystic ovaries? And can lead to infection? I’ve read that multiple heat cycles are ok for cats because of go into heat because they aren’t pregnant or spayed. Pet's info: Cat | Sphynx | Female | unspayed | 8.8 lbs

Unspayed cats over 6 months of age will generally have a heat cycle every 1-6 weeks (on average every 3 weeks). This does not indicate cystic ovaries and pyometra (an pus filled uterus) is generally more of a concern in unspayed dogs and not generally a concern in cats. Unwanted litters and overpopulation is often a concern however, so having Hermionine spayed is recommended if she is in contact with male cats that you do not want her to breed with. Good luck!
