If female animals had their periods, all hell would break loose, amirite?

Female animals have an estrous cycle, which is the equivalent to the menstrual cycle. That's what the phrase "in heat" refers to.

Im sorry for your dog if she had testicles.

They do---it's a little different from the human's, but it's basically the same thing. It's so fun having a female dog at that time. :/

That was before we got her fixed. She is now. It does cost a lot, you know...and as long as she wasn't hanging with guy dogs, it was fine until we *could* get her spayed.

Fish lay eggs, they don't have a uterine lining to lose...

Um, I'm pretty sure that all intact female mammals do menstruate. Whether they get cramps and PMS, however, is a different story.

They actually sell diapers for dogs and cats when that time of the month rolls around...

They don't have it monthly. My cat only goes into heat every few months.

that's why I have boy kittens...

Boy cats can still have problems if they are not serialised, they spray urine everywhere to mark their territory and go wondering for females to impregnate, and will get into fights. Best to get both males and female de-sexed if you don't want crazy pets.

Most mammals have estrous cycles. Higher primates like chimpanzees menstruate the way humans do. I have no idea how that works.
