MWtt 8EQ GSMJT Willey's Annual January Living Room Cloarancc Continuos ETTA MICHELSON Cats have become increasingly popular as house pets in the last decade. Both economic pressures and the increase of multi-familresidences have conto tributed this popularity. The clean habits and playful nature are appreciated by many people. New cat owners are often unaware of the y pA normal reproductive behavior and cycles of the cat. Cats have an unusual and interesting reproductive cycle. Because of the number of unwanted kittens every spring it is important to understand the female cats (queen is the proper word to refer to a female . cat) cycle. This cycle differs from dogs and other domestic species in important ways. The fertile part of the cycle is called the estrus period. A young queen may come into estrus as early as four months of age. If mated at that time she can conceive and be a mother by six months of agel Most cats will not come into estrus until 9 months of age. It is best not to breed a cat until she is at least one year old. There are many behavioral changes that can occur in the queen during the estrus period. A young queen coming in for the first time may lose her appetite, be withdrawn, and easily excited. Behavioral changes are due to die effect of the changes in hormone levels The behavior may seem so odd to new owners that the cat may be brought to the veterinarian with the feai that it is ill or even injured. ... One of the most consistent things noticed as the howling or call that the queen will exhibit. She may also roll on the floor in an affectionate manner but then jump if she is touched. Some owners may even fear a back injury as the queen will sometimes assume an odd appearing squatting position. Other queens will spray urine like a tomcat. There are many possible signs and not all cats will show all signs of estrus. These signs I have discussed are among the more common. Signs of estrus will continue for 1 days. If the queen was not bred she will be out of estrus for one or two weeks and then back into estrus. This cycle of estrus and will continue from January to September or October unless the cat is bred. This long, almost constant, fertile cycle of the cat contributes to the overpopulation of unwanted kittens. The queen must be kept out of possible contact with tomcats for this whole time if kittens are not wanted. &? CONTEMPORARY Save $300 on this spectacular special purchase!
