Both my cats have had their first ‘heat’ & since then they have been acting strange - purring and rubbing themselves against anything & everything and spraying around the house. In a month they are both being spayed - why are they doing this and will it continue after they have been spayed?

It’s the result of the hormones caused by going into heat making them mark their territory with their scent and trying to attract a mate in this way. If they’ve been calling loudly this is the same reason.
Most of this behavior will stop (spraying and calling) once they’ve been spayed, though it may take a few days up to a week or two for the hormone levels to disappear completely and fixed cats still rub their cheeks on items (and people they like!) but this is not harmful.
If they’ve sprayed on thing, you can try some of the enzyme cleaners designed for pet smells but this is a really difficult smell to remove completely. Some items especially if they’re made from cloth or carpet will be really hard to clean completely but if you use the enzyme cleaners multiple times you can usually get rid of at least some of the smell. Heavily sprayed items you might have to throw out, I hate to say it.

Thank you telegramsam - the spraying and the calling loudly are the major problems and thankfully there is a light ata the end of the tunnel. Fortunately inside the house they have not sprayed much and we managed to catch them in the process so could clean it as soon as it happened, but will keep cleaning to fade the smell. Once again thank you

Why don’t you spay your cat now, then your cats won’t be spraying all over the house! They probably won’t continue this after they are spayed, however there is a VERY VERY small chance that they might continue spraying. However, it is still always best to get your cat spayed.

johnisgood I would have had my catas spayed much earlier but in this area, unless you want to pay an exorbitant amount of money, the earliest date I could get was 4/28 - believe me if I could have had it donewhen they both came in to 'heat' I would have - spared myself going bald!!!.....lol Thanks for all your comments
