A kitten’s first heat usually lasts 7 to 10 days. Cats generally come into heat at 7 to 8 months, with males earlier than females. Males spray urine and eat less; females become restless, urinate outside the box, and cry at night.
At first heat the body is not mature, so avoid breeding whether or not you plan kittens, and wait until full maturity. If you do not plan to breed, spay early.
