Fine. I have a cat. A female. She is very beautiful. Her name is Busya. I love her. But today is the first day she’s in heat and my life will never be the same. This page will be filled in little by little every day. I will write a few sentences about what is happening.
The first day
The beginning was difficult, but I managed. Yesterday she was still running around the apartment, playing, fooling around, as if nothing had happened. But today the cat seems to have been replaced. Everyone who has encountered this knows what I’m talking about, whoever is off topic – congratulations. Here you can learn a little more about this phenomenon.
The whole day passed according to one scenario: she sleeps, wakes up, approaches the bowl with food, eats, goes to some remote place and starts to purr and periodically meow loudly. She communicates well, even better than usual, does not run away, does not play, she just likes to be petted.
It’s all right, but these apartment-wide howls are a little different from what I was most ready for. My goal is to pass this test, become stronger, more tolerant and carry my love for the cat through all these events.
Second day
I decided not to tempt fate and bought a special pill in the store. I gave it to her and after a while she calmed down a little.
On the same day, apparently not having recovered from the previous adventures with her behavior, I mistakenly took a cat pill. This happened because the outside of the packaging is identical to the drugs I am currently taking, sedatives.
Before I swallowed the wrong pill, I didn’t feel a specific taste as usual, but a second later it rustled through the channels of my digestive tract and flopped into my stomach.
Almost immediately I noticed my inattention and felt like a cat in estrus. I imagined how I stop meowing, how the pain goes away, how I just calmly exist, eat, sleep, play with myself. This easy, relaxed cat life flashed before my eyes…
3rd day
Everything is calm, the pill worked well, but not completely.
A cat that has an estrous cycle walks, eats, sleeps, purrs, wipes all corners, rubs itself. Everything is as it was at the beginning, but at least she does not arrange concerts at night. Today I slept normally and did not hear her. But the behavior is still not ideal, it does not annoy me at all. Maybe because I took the pill myself…
4th day
My cat is hoarse. Meowing for three days is usually a bit difficult for the vocal cords. He sleeps, eats, rolls on the balcony in the sun. At night she slept as much as I did. Unschooling has become much less. Maybe because the voice is almost gone.
5th day
Busya calmed down. Eats a lot, starts to play little by little, as if in heat. It practically does not meow, such a weak “meow” with a wheezing sound.
6th day
The first day I did not give her a pill. She almost doesn’t meow anymore, she sleeps and eats well. Today I showed her the corridor at the entrance, now she is asking to go there, she liked something there.
7th day
She is calm, plays without desire, does not run around the apartment, although before that she ran like crazy. Sleeps and asks for a lot of food.
I gave her a tour of the entrance hall. Having gone up several floors, the cat simply sat on the stairs and did not want to go home.
8th day
I think everything passed today, because on the third day I did not give pills and she is very calm. Maybe this is how the period of the estrous cycle goes, I don’t know. He sleeps and eats well, I don’t see any signs of illness, just a very calm cat.
9th day
I will write for two more days to make sure that this period of estrus is over.
I don’t give pills, I feed, I watch.
Busya is still as calm, much calmer than before.
She does not play, does not run around the apartment, as before. But her condition is good, she looks healthy.
She shows interest in exploring new territories. Today, for example, the cat was resting in its tray for some reason, and after some time a slide of its production was buried there again.
At night Busya slept in the closet in a not very convenient place, although it was cozy: in my sports bag, which also contained a plastic bicycle fender.
10th day. Last
My little adventure is over, for which I was not ready in the first days, but I quickly found a solution.
This cat was given to take care of for a while. I didn’t know she wasn’t spayed. And when I found out, I immediately offered to do it to its owner. Later, they took her to previous home and said they would take care of it.
And for me, she left pleasant memories, several beautiful warm photos, her feline ease, affection and love, and most importantly – the desire to have her own cat, or even two… But this is a completely different story, which you can learn about in my other posts on this site.
As you have already understood, I love to write, so sooner or later I will publish something for you about my current life.
In memory of this wonderful fluffy beauty, I leave just a few photos:
and separately several photos in the form of a photo gallery where Busya guessed how to get food from a can
