Always consult your veterinarian if you notice any abnormalities in skin or coat, whether you are expecting a child or not. Have your cat neutered or spayed, if you have not done so already. Altered animals make better family pets. Not only will your animal live a longer, healthier life, but you will be helping to stop the pet overpopulation problem. Some will even masturbate and exhibit mounting behaviors on pillows and children.
Neutered animals tend to be less territorial and less aggressive.
In many cases their heat periods can last for several weeks, causing unwelcome intact males to gather, howl and fight under your windows nightly. If so, you have a cat with a high prey drive. You may think it is fun when your cat chases your toes under the sheets, but remember, a baby's skin is very fragile and more easily harmed than your own. A pounce that might amuse you would send your new one into hysterics. It must be taught that people are not toys.
