i think my cat is in pain...

by gigi

since this morning my 7 month old kitten has been making this noise and sitting low to the ground with her little back legs spread far apart. she pushes her butt up and rolls on the floor making the this weird "prrrr" noise... which is quite loud.
i think she's in pain cause she'll be playing and then out of the blue i'll see her stop and sit with her body low and legs apart. this is very abnormal of her.
what could be wrong?

Answer by Kate
this does sound strange. To be honest i have no idea. At seven months she is maturing into an adult cat so it may be the first signs of going into heat. http://www.our-happy-cat.com/cat-in-heat.html
If I were you I would take her to the vets for a check up and also perhaps arrange for her to be spayed (if thats what you plan to do)

Heat
by: Anonymous

My cat does that when she is in heat. She is probably not in pain. They tend to rub on the floor or anything they can when they are in heat, and the sound is a calling to get a male cat to come and impregnant her. She should be fine, but if you are still worried I would take her to the vet just to be sure.
