Well, Khajiit do reproduce so they have to have some sort of period/heat phase. But then you have all these different kinds of Khajiit, some more elf (or human if you don't subscribe to the Bosmer-are-Khajiit theory, idk). But I'm pretty sure the difference between being in heat and having your period are slim enough that it shouldn't matter for your mod.

So short answer is yes, they should have some sort of phase similar to being in heat.

Uh-oh. I've stumbled upon the weird part of the lore forums...

Joking aside, though, I have no idea. My best guess would be "no", because I don't think Khajiit reproduction actually works like real-world cats, but that's just speculation on my part. I have no sources to back that up.

EDIT: I should probably note that I mean no to heat in a cat's sense. Technically there is a "heat" period for all animals, including humans.

Thank you. Do you know any good threads with info on Khajitt culture, poitics, and the like? The base goverment in crusader kings is fudal with kings and the khajiit are anything but.

Do any of you have ideas about the Tojay? I think it is a form where the khajiit is a wild animal, and attacks men and khajiit alike. They are shunned and not spoken off in polite company.

Cats don't go 'into heat', not like a seasonal thing.

A cat is either pregnant, lactating or rutting. That is, she'll continue with her meowing for a mate and doing all those highly annoying things that make people throw boots in the middle of the night until she finds a man. Only after mating does an egg fully mature and ripen.

This.

The Real Barenziah shows that the anatomy of male Khajiit sixual organs is similar to that of a cat. So I'd guess that's true for the females as well.
