Best Answer

Kittens usually have their first season around 6 months old, but sometimes can be as early as 4 months old. You'll notice certain traits such as meowing very loudly and often at all times of the day any night. This is called "calling", she's calling for a mate. A cat in heat will also become much more affectionate with everything she comes across and will often attempt to escape outside at every opportunity she sees in order to find a mate. Females cats in heat will also spray vertical surfaces with strong-smelling urine in the house in order to attract a mate.

If not spayed, a female cat will come into season at 15-21 day intervals, and each will last approximately 7-10 days. It is advisable to spay her as soon as possible as it will reduce the chance of health problems such as cancer.

If by "period" you mean "do cats menstruate" like a human, then no, cats do not have periods. Cats and most other mammals come into season, or heat which is a time where the female will be at her most fertile and be ready to mate. Cats go into heat roughly every 3-4 weeks. Cats in particular do not have periods because they don't release an egg until after mating has occurred.
