The cat's techka is natural process which does not demand control from the owner. However if the cat "walks" for the first time, to an animal it is necessary to show attention – for this purpose it is necessary to know signs of a techka to prevent possible problems.
Signs of a techkaThe first techka cats consists of three periods which are difficult for distinguishing to the inexperienced owner. The first stage is preparatory and includes emergence of transparent allocations, a loss of appetite, a small swelling of mucous membranes of genitals and nervousness. The cat begins to caress people, to often mew, purr and scratch furniture, however in attempt of pairing absolutely rejects a cat.
At a healthy cat of allocation have to be transparent and uniform whereas unpleasantly smelling or painted allocations are a reason for concern.
At the second stage the level of cat's hormones reaches peak and cats begin to demand actively pairing, heart-rendingly mewing, riding on a floor and coiling. When stroking an animal on a back, it bulges a back part and raises a tail. If pairing did not take place, the cat suffers from psychological and physical tortures as the instinct was not realized. The third stage represents an ovulation and pairing after which the cat loses interest in a cat and to ignore to drive it. If knitting did not happen, after a while the techka will be started over again. At approach of an ovulation and lack of fertilization the cat can fall into a condition of so-called false pregnancy. If the cat became pregnant, there comes the rest phase which usually falls on the winter period.
Rules of the first techkaDuration of a cycle and frequency of a techka depend on specific features of each cat, however many factors can affect them. For example, the features of physiology which are descended, breed, a food allowance, conditions of keeping and even duration of light day. Cats harmonious and easy by nature endure a techka much more often – as well as animals near whom there lives a cat.
If the owner does not plan to breed kittens or there are certain medical indications, it is desirable to sterilize a cat not to torment an animal.
Usually the cycle of the first techka proceeds from 2 to 3 weeks, and the break between them can vary of several days about half a year. The long, rare or absent techka can speak about the probability of presence of any disease. The cats who are giving birth time in one and a half years endure a techka less than the cats copulating or who were giving birth at least once.
