a cat is a polyestrus, which means they will go into their heat cycle often in their fertile years. Heat cycles happen every 1-3 weeks until it is bred. They last about 4-8 days

After all, the cycle is extremely uncomfortable for her, even if it does not inconvenience you.

Does separating the female cat from the male cat bring her out of heat faster?

No it does not. Basically the female cat will stay in heat until she is bred and pregnant. That is why you need to spay her as soon as possible. Other animals such as the dog have a set length of time for their heat cycle such as 2-3 weeks and then they are out of heat but a cat when she comes into heat, stays in heat until she is pregnant. Spay her! Good luck.

How do you make your cat go into heat?

All female cats (or queens) that have not been spayed will come in heat (or estrus) at stages in their lives. This may happen from as young as the age of 4 months and recur seasonally (usually summer seasons with more daylight). The cat stays in heat for normally 4-6 days and during the summer season will come in heat again every 2-3 weeks. These periods may vary widely. The cat will come out of heat and the cycles will end once the cat has mated or the season ends. After giving birth a female cat may come in heat again in as soon as 7 days although this usually happens after about 4 weeks.
