Answers:
They can come into season as young as 6 months. They stay in heat for around 7 days and will continue to come into heat a few times or until they are bred. They do this more in Early Spring and Late Summer.
If you scratch her belly going under her back legs, she should treed her feet and move her tail to one side.
I think kittens can come into heat as young as 6 months, maybe 5. I think they stay in heat for 2-3 weeks. The signs are frequent, throaty howling while putting her butt in the air (in anticipation of a male to relieve her sexual feelings).

You should get her spayed as soon as you can. Kitties can be spayed while they're in heat, but it will cost a little bit more. If you don't or can't get her spayed now, then as soon as she's out of heat you should do it. I think kitties can come into heat several times a year, and it's torture for both you and your kitty!
probably 5 months to a year
Normally females are in heat for 21 days, 7 days going in, 7 days in heat, and 7 days going out of heat. Some females are as young as 5 months when they go into heat, usually around 6 - 7 months otherwise.
Females will become very vocal, very affectionate and display a squating position with the rear end elevated. Do yourself a huge favor, get her spayed or you can look forward to this several times a year.
A female cat four weeks after giving birth will go into heat again!
4-6 months they can start going into heat and usually it last about 10-14 days get her spayed the signs of being in heat are she will rub on everything ,constantly clean herself, roll around uncontrollably on the floor and the worst is she will scream and holler terribly you will want to get her spayed after hearing that while you try to sleep
Kittens can have kittens as early as 4 months old. Please do not allow this to happen for it is hard on them and it is like a child having a baby.not good.
If you care about your cat you will find a way to get her spayed now before it is too late. If your cat has kittens shelter pets die.
Besides cats that are fixed live longer and HEALTHIER lives.
My Cat was 8 months old when she went into heat for the first time. It will last for about a week and usually comes about every month, just like human girls. The best bet is to get them spayed at 6 months so the don't have a chance to go into heat. When they go into heat, they will meow and yowl and it is very annoying. I waited too long to spay my cat, so she did this every month even though she was spayed.
