"In heat" refers to the estrous cycle, which some female mammals experience. Where the female is receptive to mating, they start producing pheromones to alert males of their species that they’re fertile. During an estrous cycle, the female will continue emitting pheromones and remain in the fertile stage until mated.
This is sometimes seasonal (deer come into heat in the fall) sometimes cyclical (dogs come into heat every 6 months) or a combination (cats come into heat every 1–2 weeks during certain seasons of the year).
