What are the signs before a female cat gives birth?
Before birth a female cat is restless, eats less, with a clearly enlarged and dropped abdomen and nest-building. A few hours before, she has labor pains: tense, anxious, rapid breathing.

My female hedgehog keeps chasing and biting people and likes to bite my slippers; why?
Female hedgehogs are usually gentle and do not bite randomly; this may be from stimulation, since they are protective and become irritable when the environment changes. Their curiosity also drives biting at interesting items or smells. It may also be illness or heat; check the body and see a vet if abnormal.
Why do female cats scream during mating?
A female cat screams during mating because she feels pain: the male's penis has backward-facing barbs that hurt her as they mate, and after mating she may attack the male out of displeasure. This is normal and not a concern; screaming generally means the mating succeeded.
Why does a female dog still go into heat after an ovary-hysterectomy?
A spayed female dog may still show heat briefly because her estrogen takes time to fall after surgery, and the signs lessen as it drops. If heat continues long after surgery, the operation was likely incomplete — some ovarian tissue remained and still produces hormones, causing heat.

What does a female dog in heat look like?

Can You Spay a Female Cat in Heat?
No—you should not spay a female cat while she is in heat. The engorged, soft reproductive organs and dilated blood vessels make surgery riskier and raise the chance of heavy bleeding, and recovery is slower. Spay her after the heat ends (ideally in cooler months), and know the benefits plus how to handle a post-op wound.
