Why doesn't the female cat go into heat? There may be a number of reasons for female cats not to estrus, one of which is because they do not meet a suitable partner, the other is because their hormone levels are too low, and the other is that they are affected by the environment and do not estrus.
1. Not yet at the age of estrus
Normally, female cats will start to estrus when they are 7-8 months old. If the female cat is still young and not yet mature, it will naturally not be in heat, so the owner can observe it at home for a longer time.
2. Congenital defect
If the female cat is at the age of estrus but has not been in estrus, then it is necessary to consider that the female cat has ovarian dysplasia, so it will not be in estrus. This cat with abnormal development must be sterilized as soon as possible to avoid lesions.
3. Lack of exercise
If a cat has a single diet structure, eats too much protein, fat and carbon water for a long time, and lacks exercise, the cat is too obese and the hormones in the body are severely reduced, the cat will not be in estrus. Therefore, owners must pay attention to a balanced diet. In addition to feeding cats with cat food, they can also feed some chicken breasts, cooked egg yolks and other foods to help cats maintain sex hormone balance.
4. Performed sterilization surgery
If the female cat was not raised since childhood, but was picked up by the stray cat, then it may have been sterilized by the previous owner. This is a normal situation. If you are not sure, you can take the cat to the pet hospital for a check-up.
