    She will be howling for 5 to 7 days and then be ok for 4 or 5 days and then go back into heat until you get her spayed. She will never stop the cycle until you get her fixed or she gets pregnant. Take her to the vet for a surgery as soon as possible or you will have every loose male cat for miles around come to your house to howl outside.

    About a week at a time and about every 2-4 weeks. Call your vet and have her spayed in the next few weeks. Keep her inside so she doesn't get pregnant.

    From 3 to 7 days. She can go into heat just a few times a year, every month or every other week. It depends on the cat and if there is a male anywhere near (whether she's outside with the male or inside and just hears him)

    About a week several times a year. Doesn't matter how long, half way there you will go insane from the yowling. Get it spayed, save your sanity and your cat's health.

    Ours was in heat two weeks, off for 5 days, back in heat another 2 weeks, off 4 or 5 days, back in heat..... it went on all summer till we got her spayed.

    Usually around 5 or 7 days but that's just a guideline so you have to catch it fast. Hope this helped
