Question
my cat is a female about 6 months old and the last two nights she has been meowing for about two hrs or 3 hrs straight.  even though i get up to feed her she don't stop.  she has not been spayed. what does it mean? what do i do ?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1  

Answer
Hello,
Sounds like your cat has gone 'into season', or heat. Females will howl and cry till they are bred, or the cycle passes on.  As soon as she stops, you will want to get to her vet and have her spayed.  Sometimes these cycles can last for weeks!  Hopefully she will not stay in season long.
Thank you for your inquiry and your intrest in this site.
