Cats reach puberty around six months of age. A female kitten's first heat cycle will last about four to eight days and if she is not spayed or mated, she may go into heat again in another two to three weeks. A female cat's ovaries do not release eggs until she has mated, so a sexual encounter nearly always results in pregnancy. Because a full-term pregnancy is only eight to nine weeks, a healthy female is capable of producing several litters of kittens in a year.

Dogs reach puberty around six months of age. Your female puppy's first heat cycle will last 21 to 22 days, and she will continue to go into heat on the average of every six months, usually in the late winter and summer.

This can vary from one dog to the next. Typically, the heat cycle lasts around two to three weeks. The female's vulva will swell and then bleed for several days. Mating is typically done after being in heat for a good 10 days. Some females have what is called a silent heat. This occurs when a dog does not show the typical signs of being in heat but can still get pregnant. Be careful if your dog is in heat and you do not wish her to be bred.

Is my female GSD in heat? How can I tell? Some dogs heat cycles may be shorter than average while other dogs may have longer ones.

Both males and females make wonderful pets. There is little variation in their personalities, once they have been de-sexed. Some "generalized" cat care books state that males are more extroverted and more apt to adapt themselves with strangers. These same books state females are more standoffish, and need more time to bond with their owners or adapt to company or strangers. We have found that with the Bengal breed this is not necessarily true. Both sexes make fine pets!

Females go twice a year into heat. The cycle starts at about 6-9 months of age. Dogs may skip a heat occasionally, if their mental or physical condition is weak.

Same as in humans, the first cycles is just the signal that your dog biological matures. It does not mean the female is ready to raise puppies. Do not breed your female before she is 1 1/2 year old. Some dog breeds like the Golden Retriever should not have puppies before 3 years of age!

This really depends on how long the waiting list is and the size of litters. Sphynx generally have 3-7 kittens in a litter. Please note that I prefer buyers to visit rather than solely deal with people on the telephone or e-mail. I appreciate that distance is an issue, but by actually seeing the cats and kittens you can properly decide if our Sphynx cats are for you.

Not necessarily. People's lives change and that often impacts whether they can take a kitten when we have one available. When we have kittens available, the first person on the list has the first pick of pet kittens. Sometimes that time is not always right for them to bring a kitten into their household (due to unexpected financial constraints, moving, a temporary change in lifestyle) or the sex available is not what they would prefer.

Immediately, if you're like most folks. You will experience a nearly euphoric reaction soon after you begin. However, it's not how quickly you set a quit smoking date that counts. It's how WELL you understand addiction before you set your quit date so that when you do quit, you stay quit.

Everyone is different. Some people call after one or two days to tell us of dramatic shifts they have experienced, but for most people things happen more gradually. This is not a "thirty-day miracle" like many programs claim to be.

As with just about any dog breed, when a female Maltese is "in season," there are a couple of things you have to deal with--behavior and staining. The change in behavior is much more noticeable if you own more than one Maltese--they will want to ride each other (males or females) and will likely be unusually excitable and playful, sometimes to the point of being annoying. In that case, you may want to separate the female that is in heat from the other(s) for the duration of the cycle.

A female dog (called a "bitch") goes into heat around every six months if she is not spayed. It is only during this time that she is receptive to mating with a male. Signs indicating heat are an enlargement of the vulva and a discharge. After heat is over, the bitch will either be pregnant or be experiencing a false pregnancy.

It has been noticed that several cardiac arrests occur during summer time. But it is not sure if it this may be an excess in statistical terms. It is however hard to define if these cardiac arrests are related to a specific "risk" due to heat or sweating or if it is mainly a reflection of increased physical activity, excitement and playing during the summer.

The dog's estrus cycle is divided up into several stages. The first stage, pro estrus, usually lasts about 9 days. During this time the female's vulva swells and a discharge may be noted, although the female will not be receptive to the male. The actual estrus stage, or 'standing heat', lasts 3-21 days with an average of 9 days and occurs at the end of pro estrus. During this time the female is receptive to the male and will continue to have vulvar swelling and discharge.

A portable tub heats up overnight, then it is automatically controlled by the thermostat which you adjust manually, so it is ready for use whenever you want.
