Cat in heat: clear discharge & licking. Do I need a diaper?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Female | unspayed | 8 months and 4 days old | 4 lbs

Eevee is in heat, and she is following around Tempest, our spayed 1.5yo FEMALE cat trying to get Tempest to mount her. She is also incessently licking herself in the back and I thought she just peed on me, but it was something liquid, clear, coming out of her kitty lady parts. (can I say that word here?) Do I need to diaper her up or something? How? We have no male cats so there's no worry about kittens. Just no money for spaying and no close, cheap clinics for it.

Ha ha yes you can say kitty lady parts here! That's funny. This discharge is normal, you can see if from some cats in heat. I would see if there is a pet store or something online where you can find diapers for dogs in heat. Get one for a toy breed dog, and that should fit Eevee. I hope this helps!
