- No, I think she will stay in heat for only a week or two. Check with the vet,
- and see how soon s/he will schedule her to be spayed. Some vets will spay while
- the cat is in heat, but they charge extra. I guess the operation must be a bit
- more complicated. Don't feel bad about spaying. The cat recovers very quickly.
- If you have any hesitation, browse back through the articles from a few weeks
- ago. Another cat lover was agonizing over the surgery, and came to the
- conclusion that the cat will be happier and healthier once spayed.
