Your body produces a variety of hormones throughout the month. The first hormone tells your ovaries to ovulate. Once the egg is released, it is released along with another hormone that tells your body to get ready for a fertilised egg. If no fertilised egg arrives, the uterine lining breaks down and you get a period. As your body starts menopause, two things happen: firstly you stop producing the hormone to tell you to ovulate and secondly your body runs out of eggs to ovulate. If your body doesn't think you've ovulated, you don't get a period. If your body is not producing the hormone naturally, then by giving it synthetic hormones (i.e. the pill) you are artificially tricking your body to think it's ovulated and you will get your period. That is how the Pill works - it prevents ovulation but still still gives the body the hormones it needs to go through the mentrual cycle. Many women use the Pill instead of other types of HRT (hormone replacement therapy) during the first years of peri-menopause so they can regulate their cycles and hormones while still preventing pregnancy (though their chances may be greatly reduced of getting pregnant). You will get your period if your body has the right hormones (natural or synthetic) at the right time, whether you have actually ovulated or not. However, you cannot get pregnant without ovulation.

Do cats go through menopause?
No. Menopause is the period when women stop menstruating, and since cats do not menstruate in the first place, they cannot go through menopause. Only primates, such as humans and chimps, menstruate. (Cats will bleed a little while in heat, but this is part of the estrous cycle, which is not the same. Estrus in cats is closer to the period right after menstruation in humans.) They don't even go through menopause in the sense of ceasing to experience estrus; cats remain fertile throughout life.

When does menopause occur?
On average, menopause occurs at 51 years of age. This is only an average, and many women go through menopause earlier or later than that. It can occur anywhere between 40 and 60 years of age. If it is earlier than 40, then it is considered early menopause. Some women go through menopause because of surgery or because it's chemically induced. Women who smoke tend to go through menopause a little earlier than others. Menopause is said to occur after 12 consecutive months with no period.
