This is normal: cats are seasonal, repeatedly-heating animals that begin showing signs at 6-8 months, with a heat lasting 7-14 days that recurs after a short rest if not bred. You can soothe a queen by gently stroking her back and the raised base of her tail, but never give random heat-suppressing powders.
Males typically go into heat about once a week after their first. Frequent heat drains energy and raises reproductive-disease risk, so once the heat subsides, take the cat to a vet for spaying.
