It's horny season again for cats. Protect your pussies, people!
Or even better, have you cat neutered before she get´s into heat. Provided your cat is not suffering from liver problems and can tolerate anaesthesia of course. Being in heat regularly without breeding is not only unnecessary stress for your cat and yourself but also promotes cancer of her reproductive organs.
Is it? Don't female cats have irregular periods throughout the year?
I think they're triggered by environmental conditions. In my area, they used to run about around April. But now that it's way too warm for the time period, it started early.
Also keep your cats inside unless you want to be complicit with the destruction of fauna
