Cat in heat question
My foster cat Beetle came to us with 3 kittens at 10 days old. The kittens
are now 8 weeks old, and Beetle went back to the shelter so her milk can dry up before she is spayed. She's been at the shelter for a few days now, and yesterday and today I observed her displaying "in heat" type behavior, like raising her butt in the air, rubbing all over everything, rolling around on the floor. Is it possible she could be in heat again, this soon? -- -Kelly kelly at farringtons dot net Check out www.snittens.com

Cats can go in heat and get pregnant while they are still nursing the previous litter. Time for that spaying to make her more comfortable. We've spayed mama cats who were still nursing (semi wild ferals) or ones in heat or the combo of both with no problems. The vet has to be careful with the incision and you have to provide a little more monitoring during the post op period, but on the whole, the cat is a LOT happier to have those hormones leave the system.

Is it possible she could be in heat again,
this soon? Yes. Cats can go into heat while still nursing a litter.

Yep, it's possible. And in this case, sounds probable.
