'Ïn heat' is a term used for non primate females (like rabbits,dogs,cats etc) who undergo oestrus cycle.During a particular phase in this cycle, the females become sexually active and hence are said to be in heat.Copulation and fertilization takes place during this period.

Also known as 'estrous cycle or calling' a cat in heat is when the female cat (female cats are also known as queens) is fertile & receptive to mating. Estrus is also seasonal & depends on a number of factors including the number of daylight hours, age & general health.

It is not. A cat will never miss the experience of "motherhood". In fact, spaying a cat prior to it going into heat the first time is easier on the cat and less expensive to you. It's a bigger surgery once she's been in heat. In addition, spaying a cat before she goes into heat the first time can keep her from developing the urges to spray, mark her territory, and become aggressive. Yes, female cats do spray.
