False heat - ready to strangle my cat!?

Please don't strangle your cat (of course, you wont. Just kidding). My female Shepard (dog) went into first heat in the middle of a fruit market. After bloodying up the place the manager brought it to my attention and threw us out. I got her spayed shortly afterward.

I've left an interesting possible answer to your question from another website explaining why sometimes a cat will go into false labor though it is not at all conclusive.

I have a cat that was fixed as a kitten and a perfect cat until she hit puberty. She started spraying the walls and acting like a cat in heat. Our male cat (also fixed as a kitten) tried to help her out but I guess he didn't have all the functionality of intact males. The false heat is apparently a rare condition and exploratory surgery has minimal chance of solving the problem and could kill your cat-or so I've read. Out of desperation I let my cat start going outside (this can be very dangerous, but at the time I lived in the country). She came back two days later and slept forever then was back to her normal litter box trained self. From then on I just let her outside whenever she wanted.

Now I'm in town and soon moving-our cat cannot go outside (not safe). She just went into false heat and is being crazy! Our male cat still tries but is not equipped. I'm thinking about wrangling a male stray cat for a visit or else I once read that a vet tech can deal with her needs utilizing a q-tip (I'm so not gonna do that to my cat myself!). As this issue has not been a problem in a few years because my cat got to go outside multiple times a week I am very curious about how long the heat season will last too and if one round with a vet tech will be enough.

There's a big difference in heat cycles or even false heat cycles and normal energentic behavior. I seriously doubt she is in heat if spayed and she's just full of energy.

Try playing with her more with string/feather toys or a laser light.
