How often does an adult cat go into heat?
An adult female cat goes into heat 3-4 times a year, about every 3 months, each lasting 7-10 days. Males are passively triggered by a female's scent. Signs include inappropriate elimination, low appetite, frequent calling; if not breeding, spay early to lower reproductive disease risk.
Cat is very clingy, arches its back, low voice — in heat again or sick?

Are Chinchillas Prone to Heatstroke? How to Treat It
Chinchillas are very heat-prone: their thick Andean coat resists cold but they have few sweat glands, so heat and humidity quickly cause fatal heatstroke. Cool a stricken pet with ice and a fan, wipe alcohol on thin-furred spots, give a cooling remedy, and rehydrate — and keep the room below 28°C, ventilated, and shaded in summer.
Chinchilla Heatstroke: Symptoms and Emergency Care
Chinchilla heatstroke happens when heat and humidity stop the body from shedding heat, and severe cases are fatal fast. Watch for lethargy, unsteady standing, or coma; for mild-to-moderate cases move the pet to a cool place, apply cooling balm, and give a heat-relief fluid, while severe cases need glucose and a vet.
Chinchilla Heatstroke: First Aid and Prevention
Chinchillas are very heat-sensitive and can die quickly from severe heatstroke. Move a stricken pet to a cool, airy place, wipe it down, and give cooling fluids; prevent trouble by placing the cage out of the sun and using AC, a cooling fan, or ice to keep the room between 8 and 22°C.
How to tell a dog is in heat?
