Thank you for submitting your question regarding Tigresa. Cats will go into heat multiple times throughout the breeding season. The cycles can vary in length, but generally last about one week. If she does not mate, her symptoms will resolve. She will likely go back into hear again soon though. Spaying her will alleviate these signs. I hope this information helps!
