Don't know if this is right, but when I got Amber, I was told or read somewhere that cats go into heat twice a month. Definitely get them spayed as soon as possible. It will help in general TREMENDOUSLY. And welcome to the board!

Let me tell you-I had 2 kitties go into heat in the middle of the hurricane in Sept. We were all housebound, no power, vet of course closed for days. These kitties meowed alot and one wouldn't eat for several days but she did manage to pee on our clothes, couch etc...maybe it was pressure on her body, I don't know. Needless to say, I thought after that I would have awhile before it happened again, before I had to spend $$$ on two spays. Well, two weeks later one started going into heat again, the vet saw us pretty soon after that. Donna

I urge you to get both of them neutered ASAP!

You are so right. I adopted two kittens from a shelter, they fixed them at 2 1/2 mos and the other was 4 mos., they recovered extremely faster than my other cats who were fixed after 6 mos. of age. I couldn't live with a cat going into heat all the time. Donna
