		<description>No, they don't actually sync up, but cats who are unspayed can go into heat every other week and the heat can last 7-10 days at times. That's why it may seem like they're in sync with each other. 

Being in heat is very uncomfortable for them. They're also more likely to try to run away in order to satiate their need. My sister's cat ripped the screen out of a two story window and jumped out and was gone for days. When they get out, they run the risk of being exposed to diseases, getting run over by cars, or being taken in by another family. 

You should really consider getting them spayed. Imagine how uncomfortable you'd be if you couldn't satiate yourself when you needed to. 

You should know this, every year, in January, there's something called National Spay Day. (google it for more info). What it is is your local animal shelter will sell EXTREMELY low cost vouchers ($50) to use at your local vets for spaying, shots, and microchipping. All that normally costs like $600. It's a great way to make sure your kitties are healthy and happy. Plus, spayed kitties tend to live longer too. 

Good luck with your new babies! :)</description>

		<description>Yes that can actually happen. This also happens with humans that live together or hang out alot. You can actually start getting periods the same time as your close friend/family member. Hope that helped! :)</description>
