Cats can come into heat very frequently, as often as every 2-3 weeks during breeding season until they mate or are spayed. This repetitive cycle is normal but can be strenuous for both the cat and the owner. To prevent this, and to avoid unwanted litters, consider spaying your cat. Spaying not only stops the heat cycle but also contributes positively to your cat's health and wellbeing.
