How often to female cats come into season?

perpetually...or thats how it seems. Seriously, they arent like dogs, and some will call on and off throughout the year for days and nights at a time.

I think they are able to conceive at any time because their system is kick started by mating... or something like that...

lily seems to cry for 5 days, be quiet for 5 days and then the same again. She is back doing it again now! Im going to have her spayed soon.

Queens are usually in season 2 or 3 times a year, it can be more depending on other cats in the area. :)

if its only 2 or 3 times a year why would she be crying for 5 days on and 5 days off?

I'm sure the vet said that they ovulate when mated so they can conceive whenever...

or maybe I'm talking out my bottemme

Without toms being about queens are usually in season for about 5 days every 3 weeks (so that's approximately 5 days on, 16 days off) but some queens are more frequent than that.

In addition to that, the interest of a tom can make a queen ovulate out of pattern.

Seriously, try to plot a time when Lily isn't likely to be in season and go for it TattyBear!

wuduswitch- I don't think that you're thinking of cats when you say twice or three times a year. Two or three litters a year, possibly- but that allows for all the other time that they're pregnant and so not in season.

Sorry medusa, thankyou :D :D
