Your female cat's yowling and restlessness, especially with increased vocalization and interaction from your other cat, might indicate she's in heat or experiencing mating behavior. However, other factors could also be causing her agitation.
- Yowling and restlessness can be signs of a cat in heat.
- Other causes of agitation may include stress or discomfort.
- Observing her behavior can help determine the cause and necessity for a vet visit.
Cats in heat often exhibit increased affectionate behavior, rolling around, and vocalizations to attract mates. However, changes in environment, physical discomfort, or health issues can also cause similar symptoms. Monitoring her closely will help you assess whether she shows other signals of being in heat or if there might be another concern.
