LMAO. Theres a bit of vintage geek humor.
Womanhood? Wouldn’t that be “pussyhood”?
just scream, “God Dammit! Kitty!” ala Eric Cartman 
<Taking notes> Grab back of neck . . . </Taking notes>
Thank you. That must be why Cookie seemed unsatisfied.
Queenhood? Tabbyhood?
I am a HUGE fan of spaying/neutering animals if you aren’t going to breed. So many cats and dogs (among other household pets) are killed each year because they’re unwanted and it’s so unnecessary. Fix your pets, people! I know there are places that have reduced prices if you’re on a tight budget, just ask around. Good luck!
NOOOO! We’re waiting for payday to get our little Spike “chipped” and we’re counting on it calming him down (his nickname is “Destructor”).
If only his older brother Xander was a good influence on him, and not the other way around!
Please tell me this isn’t common in boy kitties!
sigh
My five male cats are all altered. The three older ones (EddyTeddyFreddy) are pretty mellow, although Ted does enjoy bullying the smaller felines (Sophie, Sylvia, Serena). Pumpkin and Squash are playful but not crazy. The litter boxes don’t stink as much after they’re fixed.
Spike will probably calm down as he leaves kittenhood and adolescence behind.
Most female cats in heat get extremely creative at escaping, too, and attract tomcats from all over the neighborhood.
Before my roommate got her all-black kitty fixed, when she would go into heat we would yell insulting obscenities at her (like "You slut!, but more elaborate.) She would meow and moan louder, as if she enjoyed it or at least knew we were talking about her and her issues. Obviously, this was pretty immature of us. But we were ROFL at the time.
And watch the rest of that episode too. It’s available now on the Season 3 DVDs. That thing is so wrong in so many ways.
As of this afternoon, Fred is back to her normal, mental self.
Now one of the other kitties has started!
We have two other cats, Babyface and Patches. I dubbed them Regular Kitty and Psycho Kitty. If Regular Kitty is sitting on the arm or back of the couch, she will allow you to pet her and, perhaps, scratch her behind the ears. Psycho Kitty takes off like a shot if you even look at her, literally.
Recently, I have begun to think of them as Patty and Selma od Simpsons fame. Two old maids who’ll never get laid. Although the cats done have as much leg hair. 
You have my sympathy.
But really, if you’re not planning on breeding, why not get them fixed? It’d solve all your kitty-in-heat problems. My mom grew up with a Siamese who had several litters before she was fixed…apparently you have heard NOTHING until you’ve heard a Siamese in heat!
Definitely have her spayed. Hamish didn’t have the money to spay his cat for a long time; finally she went into the perma-heat that AngelicGemma mentioned. Fortunately, by then he had the money (notwithstanding that Evil Ex-Roommate stole $60 of it… long story). Cat, owner, and owner’s roommate are all much happier for it.
Does anybody know why it’s better to have cats fixed before they…you know…do this? What difference does it make?

Who knew the office supply room was chock full of kitty dildos?

Your cat doesn’t have to go through the torture that is being in heat…

You can sleep at night. My vet didn’t want to spay my cat right away (I had rescued her while she was in heat, the vet told me the ovaries are more swollen at that time), and I had a job where I was working 12 hour days. It truly sucked to wake up at 5 AM after a mostly sleepless night of listening to a cat in heat.
A Siamese queen in heat has to be heard to be believed. Siamese are generally quite talkative, with a distinctive call. When they go into heat, they want to make sure that every tom in the city knows about it.
I think it IS cruel to leave a cat unspayed if she’s not going to be bred. At the very least, she’s very, very frustrated. Plus all the vets and techs have checked in about the medical dangers.
Our current Siamese female went through at least one heat cycle. I adopted her as an adult from the Humane society, and between the time I picked her out and the day I filled out the paperwork she managed to catch an upper respiratory infection, which is apparently serious in cats. I decided that I wanted her anyway, and I agreed to treat her at home. So we had an unspayed adult female cat and a neutered adult male cat in our house. Before the female was completely recovered, she went into heat with a vengeance. She made obscene advances to my husband, not caring that he was physically unable to mate with her. She seduced the male cat, who had been neutered as a kitten and was Innocent of such things. She actually managed to get him to mount her, but I don’t think that he was able to consummate their joining, leaving her even more frustrated. We were finally able to get her spayed when she got over her cold, which was a BIG relief to everyone (male and female, human and cat) in the Bodoni household.
Vets will spay and neuter kittens at a fairly young age now. Ask about it when they get their kitten shots. It’ll save everyone’s nerves. Oh, and female cats CAN go into heat at 6 months, and get pregnant.
Diceman:
I guess you’ve never been around a queen in heat. You and the cat will do ANYTHING to get her some relief!
I haven’t heard a Siamese in heat, but the ones I’ve known were loud enough otherwise…eek!
I’ve heard some vets will spay/neuter as early as six or eight weeks, but I don’t think it’s very common to do it that young. My Bengal was neutered at six months and it was Just In Time, because he had sprayed once. He never did it again, thank Og.
Here it has become law that shelters must desex animals before allowing them to be adopted, they are regularly doing kittens at 6-7 weeks now though my vet tells me it is a much harder operation when they are that small.
Wait-you have THREE unfixed cats?
Please, for the love of god, get them spayed.
Well, if you spent your nights sleeping tied up in a chair in the basement, you’d probably be unleashing destructiveness on the household at large, too…
but seriously, folks…
We actually got Schrodinger the Invisicat to be a companion for Conan the Wonderkitty. Conan was a rambunctious youngster, who destroyed many a pair of nylons while my mother or I was in the process of trying to put them on. Not to mention the assorted household destruction associated with having a highly energetic kitty in the apartment alone while both of us were at work. Having a feline friend to play with helped curb some of Conan’s destructive tendencies. Conan was already fixed before we got Schrodinger. When we got Schro fixed, I asked the vet if maybe we should keep them separated because Conan basically treated Schrodinger like a big toy (still does, to some extent) and I was concerned about possible injury to the incision when the Wonderkitty got rough with him. The response I got came in the form of a pamphlet on dealing with feline aggression:rolleyes:
Anyhoo, I really think that a cat should be fixed before it reaches sexual maturity if its human caretaker is not planning to breed it. Male cats can spray even after they’re neutered, if they were spraying before their, um, de-part-ure. Some females can breed as young as four months old. Plus, I think that I would be seriously squicked by having a female cat that was desparately trying to get some, and wasn’t particular about who or what she got it from.
