My kitten is 7 months old and hasnt shown prior signs of aggression but attacked my friend out of the blue tonight. I think she may possibly have gone into heat? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 10 lbs

It's possible but unfortunately, with out being able to observe the behavior, it's impossible to say.

There are many health and behavioral benefits as well it stops any potential for kittens which will contribute to pet over population: https://www.petcoach.co/article/spaying-ovariohysterectomy-the-benefits-in-cats/ I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
