Question
Hi,
my question is; do female cats minstruate(do they get periods) coz i've
seen few drops of blood on her hair around the anus area.
it happened once only, she is Persian of 10 month old age.
when she should get married ?

Answer
cats go into "heat" instead of having periods..it may get red and swollen near their anus but usually not blood
when cats are in heat you will know it. she will meow all the time..be very lovey dovey to everyone and anything..howl a lot..stick her rear up in the air.. and want to roam outside to find a boyfriend (or boys will come to your door wanting to get to your cat!).  I do not think house cats should EVER get married
and have children..there are too many homeless cats out there already ..cats (male or female) do not stick to one mate either .. she is old enough now to be spayed so she
will no longer go into heat, reproduce, or attract men
she will be healthier and more stable personality
