Fly away!
OMG! I haven't had a cat in heat before. Well, I have but it's just these two.
I found a place that offers a voucher to low-income families to get your cat fixed for $10. So, I could get both of them spayed for $20, as opposed to $70 each at the vet or even $55 each at the humane society. But, you know how it goes...you're so busy putting out the day to day fires that it gets put off and filling out the paperwork and getting proof of assistance just wasn't high on the priority list. Until now.
Chloe went into heat first and she's not bad. She chirps and drives Hydro crazy. He gets really annoyed and growls at her. He's fixed - not interested. But she just kinda chirped and rolled around on the floor.
But, last night Isa went into heat and she hasn't stopped yowling since. At least Chloe would chill for a few hours.
There's no chance of them getting pregnant because all of mine are fixed and they don't go outside.
I know she's miserable and I feel bad for her. But, I'm miserable too!
I used to be able to tune stuff out. My first job was at a very busy vet practice and I had to tune out the animals back in the kennel, the dot matrix printers, the phones, the animals in the lobby....I got really good at it. But, my sensory issues are so amped that I can't and I'm going crazy.
Is there anything I can do to make her more comfortable...and less yowly?
