Hi There,

Unless this cat has been spayed, chances are that she really is coming into heat. It could be only coincidence that this behavior seems to happen when you are around. Or perhaps you have been around a tomcat and this puts the female into full-blown heat.

If this is a spayed cat, I would suspect that some tissue was accidently left inside her belly, most likely part of an ovary. In this case, a second surgery would be recommended. Without a second surgery, the cat would be at high risk for developing mammary cancer later on. The risk is high for any cat that has been allowed to go into heat more than once.

If it is unknown whether the cat has been spayed or not, a vet can shave her belly to look for a spay scar.

BTW, cats don't bleed when they are in heat, as dogs do.

Take care,
PHKitkat
