So this morning I got up and took a shower to get ready for work. When I got out of the shower I heard our cat Ursula making an odd noise. Ursula is a stray that got stuck in a drainage pipe on the side of our house. Being pushovers we took her in, she is a little thing. Probably a little over a year old. Anyway, I stick my head around the corner to see what is going on. So there is Ursula on the ground with Roadkill, another stray we took in, on top of her. Roadkill is gigantic. Roadkill has Ursula by the back of the neck, which isn’t that odd as Ursula bugs Roadkill a lot and Roadkill grabs her by the nape of the neck to stop her sometimes. What was odd is that Roadkill was _standing on her back with all four paws and marching_. I chased Roadkill off yelling ‘Thats not how it works!’. The odd things are a) they are both fixed and b) Ursula seemed to like it. Cats be weird. Slee\* - Owner and operator of Slees home for wayward pets. ---

Two of my cats, Pandora and Sebastian, are about the same age. My vet put off neutering them because they “don’t go into heat until spring”. They’re indoor-only, so I wasn’t worried. So about February, Pandora starts yowling and rubbing against everything in the house. “I LOVE YOU, SOFA! _lookit my butt!_” “I LOVE YOU, TABLE LEG! _lookit my butt_” The very same day, something smelled… funky. And I realized that Sebastian had been visited by the hormone fairy. The next thing I know, Sebastian has Pandora by the nape of the neck, is straddling her, and looking confused. He was ready to go, but didn’t know where to go or what to do. Then Baxter – who’s been fixed since 2006 – got into the act. He had things down, but nothing worked. My vet claimed that Pandora couldn’t possibly be in heat since it was still winter. I suggested that the cat couldn’t read the calendar, and put my phone down by Pandora so the vet could hear the noises she was making. Both of them were fixed the next day. ---

> [@GrumpyBunny](#): > > Two of my cats, Pandora and Sebastian, are about the same age. My vet put off neutering them because they “don’t go into heat until spring”. I think your vet needs to go back to school. According to WebMD, in the Northern hemisphere, a female generally goes into heat between [March and September](http://pets.webmd.com/cats/heat-estrus-cycle-cats). VCA says it can run from [January until the late fall](http://www.vcahospitals.com/main/pet-health-information/article/animal-health/estrus-cycles-in-cats/5635). And given the number of kitten cams out there that have active feeds during the September through February time frame, I’m betting it’s possible for them to go into heat at any time of the year. ---

If there’s anything I’ve learned about cats, is 1. They do what they want 2. Like aging hippies, they don’t care about your rules, man… 3. Maybe they’re Australian cats and go into heat opposite North American cats ---

We have 2 male cats, 2 female cats, and a male dog. All are neutered. The females are not involved in the hanky panky. They wouldn’t put up with it. The largest male cat (not that the other is small) is as big as the dog and is the biggest victim. The dog humps nothing except him. I have caught the other male mounting his “brother” and biting his neck, which is how cats sometimes mate (cat sex is fucked up). March is spring? ---

It’s usually dominance behavior when both cats are fixed. ---

Rape fantasies are common among female cats. ---

Even “consensual” cat sex is scary. It involves vaginal trauma. At least it’s not bedbug sex (involves knife-penis creating its own orifice). ---

I’m disappointed that there are no pictures. I doubt that you don’t legitimate have any cats. 😉 ---

Your bet would be a winner. Cats that are indoors with food and shelter and safety will cycle in and out of estrus constantly, the time of year is not a factor. As a shelter that does extensive TNR, I guarantee you we’re doing spay-aborts year round, and those cats are outside. While May-Sep is the highest volume “kitten season” I can tell you with certainty it really is _always_ kitten season.
