Audrey's gone into heat. [View all]

The Furballs are 4 months old. This isn't the right time of year for her heat, but it wasn't the right time of year for her birthing them, so her timing seems to be off anyway. It's not impossible, just unusual.

She's driving Fast Eddie bonkers. He doesn't particularly like her anyway, so he finds her following him around, crooning and posturing (full kowtow, chest to ground, butt in air, ears in a non-threatening position) just weird. He was neutered as a young feral, so he's been out of that line of work forever. He has no idea what to do. I don't know who I'm sorrier for; him or her. She's got the screaming thigh sweats and he can't get her to leave him alone.

Now she is getting spayed in a couple weeks, so it should resolve itself. But the stress level around here is kind of high. Cat's in heat, DH has shingles, work's completely insane, and Trump's in the White House. I'd ask what's next, but I don't want to hear the answer.
