[quote=Anonymous]OMG.  I feed your pain, OP, but I have been there before and recently pulled a Karen to get my cats spayed.  15 years ago our kitten went into heat before spay and it was awful.  My DH has never looked at her the same way, the little strumpet.  He was horrified.

I rescued a cat who ended up being pregnant, giving birth to one female kitten.  She is a barn cat and the vet wanted to wait until 12 months before spaying the kitten (I took them in at 4 months, when kitten was fully weaned and could come into heat).  I was sure, given her family history, the kitten would meet a deadbeat dad just like her mother did and I’d be in the same position again.

I basically told the vet I couldn’t keep her locked up for 8 months (true) and explained that, while some cats don’t come into heat at 4 months, some did and this kitten absolutely needed spayed NOW.  They did it and honestly that kitten bounced back from the spay faster than her mother did.  She barely noticed she’s been spayed, while mom slept a lot for a few days.

My advice to you is to lock her in the basement or something and use earplugs until your appointment.  Call the vet, they might move up the spay but usually also charge a bit more to spay a cat while in heat.  And complain about how horrible it was!  Maybe you can save another family being scandalized.[/quote]
