How often do cats go in heat when they're not spayed? How long does each heat cycle last?
-
Female cats who aren't spayed go into heat quite often. They go into heat seasonally, spring and fall, and may go into heat several times during the season. Each heat usually lasts several days, but it can be as short as one day, and as long as a week. She will then be out of heat for one to two weeks, leading to a heat cycle of about one to three weeks, depending on how long they were in heat.

Cats are polyestrus. This means they go into heat several times a year. An intact female cat will go into heat every 2-3 weeks until she becomes pregnant or is spayed.
