An 8 month old cat is almost full grown and is physically capable of becoming pregnant. My own cat came on heat for the first time at less than 5 months old. Some cats are far more obvious about their heat cycles than others - some cats have obvious shows and do little other than rolling on the floor wailing. Other cats have few external signs and their heats can pass largely unnoticed - until they start expanding and produce kittens. If your cat is to be used for breeding, it's time to separate her from males and watch her closely. Few cats will pass without any signs of being on heat at all. If you do not want her to become pregnant, she is well and truly old enough to be spayed. Mine was spayed at five months and came through the operation with no complications. The surgery is routine and rarely causes problems. If your cat is a mixed breed or you do not intend to breed her to a stud cat, please do the responsible thing and have her spayed. There are enough unwanted cats already without another female producing litter after litter.
