How Long A Female Cat Go From Home To Mate ? Here's The Answer !

When living things enter adulthood, they will enter a stage of reproduction called the marriage period. This applies to almost all living things, including cats. Cats that are mature and ready to mate will generally have a high level of attraction to the opposite sex.

They will try to chase or attract the attention of the opposite sex in order to get married. Some of these cats even use coercion against the opposite sex (often done by males). The condition of a strong desire to mate in cats is commonly known as lust.

Cats that are in heat ( wanting to mate ) will show signs such as frequent meowing even at night, spraying ( peeing on the wall ), fighting, not wanting to eat and not infrequently the cat leaves the house in a short time.

For male cats, cats leave the house and return after 1 day, 3 days, a week or the longest about 1 month. Then what about the female cat ? Do they also do the same and how long does it take the female cat to leave the house to mate ?

For those of you who are curious about the answer, you can read Angora's article below. Read to the end, Good Readers.

Is It True That Female Cats Are Really In Heat ?

Before going into the main discussion, it is necessary for us to make sure that our pet female cat leaves the house because she is in heat ( want to mate ). The way to be sure is to remember if the cat has previously displayed the common traits of a lust cat.

This is important we do. Why ? So that we do not conclude wrongly and can take the right action. Because it could be that our cat who ran away or left was not because he wanted to mate but for other reasons.

Like cats stolen by people, cats loss, cats carried by passing children and others. To make sure the cat that left because it was in heat, you can match the general characteristics of a lust cat below with your pet cat :

• The female cat that used to rarely meow is now meowing often and even repeatedly

• The meow is not flat and becomes more pitched as if it is calling or singing

• Some female cats sometimes also spray

• The cat becomes more territorial, likes to get angry and fights with the male or female around him

• Always trying to attract the attention of other male cats

• Often raises the back of the body up while the head is lowered towards the floor

• It's better to be outside

• Cats rarely come home

If there are at least 8 matches between the characteristics of the lust cat above and your female cat, it means that your favorite cat is really in the mating period.

How Long Does It Take For Male Cats To Leave The house To Mate ?

In contrast to male cats who are about to mate, which can be away from home for a day, few days, a week or two week or even a month. Female cats themselves are relatively gone in a shorter period of time than male cats.

Female cats that are in the mating period ( desire ) are generally the strongest and will leave within 3 days or a week before finally returning home. At most the cat will be gone for a week but this only happens to one or two cats or rarely happens.

Often a female cat will only be away for a few hours. Some female cats can also be away for 24 hours and then the next day the cat will return home to eat or drink.

Then the cat will stay at home for a while or it could be that the cat will go back after he eats, drinks and rests. For female cats who don't come home after a day, you should immediately look for them.

Because many cases where the cat doesn't come home after a day is because the cat was stolen or got lost.

What Should We Do When Cats Don't Come Back Home ?

Wait a day or two days. If it turns out that the cat does not come home then look for a cat. You can look for it in the area around the house, in the neighbor's house that he visits the most, where a lot of cats congregate or look near the garbage dump.

Or look for places where there is a lot of leftover food, also look for hidden places or high places in your house or around your neighborhood. Usually the female cat will be around the places that Angora just mentioned.

How To Prevent Cats From Leaving The House ?

Preventing female cats that we usually let free in and out of the house will be very difficult to do. The only way to keep the cat from leaving the house is to put the cat in a cage and lock it up. Confinement is carried out until the cat has passed its mating period.

This method is effective, it's just that a cat that is locked up in a cage for too long can experience stress. Not only that, cats are also at risk of experiencing health problems in the genital tract. Even cats are at risk for cancer.

Is there an alternative way that we can do so that the cat does not leave the house and without affecting his health ? Of course there is, but this method requires more funds to be done. The trick is to sterilize our pet female cat.

To do this, you need around 200 dollars  for a domestic female cat, while for the cost of sterilizing a purebred female cat, it will cost more than 200 dollars. Sterile cat breeds can reach above 200 dollars or even more.

The amount of this sterilization fee depends on whether the cat is a pure breed and based on the type of cat breed itself. To do cat sterilization, you just need to visit the nearest vet clinic where you live. After sterilization, the cat will become sterile.

Cats that have been neutered will be happier being in the house than roaming outside the house. The cat's behavior also changes as the cat becomes more friendly with other cats, does not like to fight and the spraying habit will disappear.

Is after the cat is sterilized, the cat's reproductive ability is only temporarily lost ? The answer is no because the cat's reproductive ability will be lost permanently or lost forever. That's why before sterilizing your cat, you should think about this carefully first.

Think carefully about whether this is the best thing you can do for your beloved fur pal. Although a cat that has been sterilized is more likely to be happy in the house, it is possible that the cat will still go outside.

Cats go out of the house maybe because they want to play, poop, want to pee or just want to bask in the hot sun.
