Help! I have two cats

16:06:29

Question
I have two cats one a female and one a male. She has not been spayed. He has been neutered. She is in heat and as he trys to comfort her, she gets aggressive. Do you think they will mate?

Answer
Hi,
I'm guessing that your female cat does not go outside as she is not spayed so she is probably feeling very frustrated and probably cannot understand why the Male cat is not interested in her.
It is unlikely that they will mate as the male cat will have lost his urge for this kind of thing and after all it would be pointless.
If you do not intend to have kittens from your female cat, it would be kinder for her to have her neutered then she will not go through these frustrated periods every few months.
