Cats go into heat in winter. Cats may also go into estrus in winter, because the period of a cat’s estrus has little to do with the season. Cats’ estrus is not seasonal and may occur throughout the year. It's just that spring and autumn are the peak periods for cats to be in estrus. Cats in summer and winter will still go into estrus when they should, but perhaps less frequently than in spring and autumn. A female cat's estrus is related to the degree of light. Female cats are more likely to be in estrus during seasons with longer sunshine hours. However, cats raised at home will also be illuminated at night, so they will also go into estrus in winter during the non-breeding season. As for male cats, they basically do not have an estrus cycle. They are mainly stimulated by the pheromones secreted by female cats when they are in estrus.
Cat estrus manifestations:
1. When male cats are in estrus, they will often behave astride, and may hug dolls, stool legs, or even their owners. legs to vent their desires.
2. Male cats will roar when they are in estrus. The sound is not as loud as that of female cats. They will respond to the sounds and smells of female cats in estrus and make chirping sounds.
3. When a female cat is in estrus, the most obvious manifestation is that she meows all day long, with a high-pitched and unpleasant sound. In the middle of the night, she will meow particularly frequently and loudly.
4. Every time you pet the cat, the cat will raise its buttocks.
