Answer

Yes, if your female cat is not spayed, these behaviors—excessive meowing, rolling on the floor, affectionate rubbing, and presenting her hindquarters—are classic signs of being in heat, also known as estrus. This is her reproductive cycle when she's receptive to mating. These cycles can occur frequently, especially in warmer months or indoors, and can be quite intense. If you wish to prevent pregnancy and eliminate these behaviors, spaying is highly recommended and offers significant health benefits, including reducing the risk of mammary cancer. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance on spaying.
