Little Cocopop is being very funny this week. Her behaviour is making me think a little bit like she is on heat?!
She's be waxing and waning between being super affectionate and really stand-offish. She's been a little bit on edge (as in jumping at things she normally doesn't.
The two big things that made me even think of the idea that she would be on heat is that a) Alfie is REALLY interested in her girl bits - trying to get in there and have a sniff at any opportunity and b) when I stroke her along her back, her back stiffens up and her rump goes a bit flat and her tail goes right up and she really pushes her lower back area right up into my hand.
She came to me with a belly full of stitches and a desexing certificate, so I think I can assume she's been desexed. I don't communicate with her breeder and was never answered when I asked when we used to communicate, but I believe she had been on heat at least once before I got her.
So any ideas?

Usually no they don't but if she was de-sexed recently she might still have some hormonal activity......or in rare cases they can go on call because a small amount of ovary has been left behind.

Which is what happened with my Sapphy. She had to go in again but all solved now.
If this is the case it helps that she is done while on call as it is easier to spot.

Oh dear. I hope it's not that.
I shall monitor her.
How long would a cat usually be on call for and how long between calls?
Are there other symptoms I should look for?

Well Sapphy is definately a one of a kind furball!
She was desexed in the Dec and called in the March for 10 yes TEN days straight then would go off for 3 months then 10 days again etc. She finally had her little op on Easter Thursday this year. The piece of ovary missed was smaller than a pea and my vet said if she hadnt been on call when she opened her up she would never have noticed anything.
I think I would tend to ride it out for a while and just observe and watch her. And if it occurs again the speak with your vet.
