New mom cat in heat is peeing

by Jess
(Central coast)

My cat had 2 kittens a fortnight ago. I am aware that I cannot have her de-sexed for another 4 weeks.

She is on heat and just peed all over the couch, the coffee table and myself. It even went in my ear! It was like a water bomb.

I have placed her in a bedroom where her kittens are with her food, water and kitty litter and have closed the door. What can I do?

Any advice would be helpful. Thank you in advance.

My thoughts: In the short term, I think confining her to a room with her kittens is probably the way to go. I would consider the possibility that this is a one time incident, but watch her closely.

I would also consider that she may have an infection. If that's the case, then she may need antibiotics, but you'll obviously need to have your vet diagnose her first.

I hope that helps. Please let us know how she comes along.
