    Has she been spayed? If not, then it sounds like she is in heat/season.

    You need to take her to get spayed, that is the only way to stop this for good.

    In the short term, ignoring her behavior is okay. You will also want to look out for where she might be marking to let males know she is 'ready'. There are several good enzyme based cleaners on the market that will take care of odor as well as stains.

    Long term (and as soon as you can) getting her spayed is best. It is good for her health and will stop/keep to a minimum undesired behaviors like yowling and marking the walls and furniture.

    Spaying her is for her own good (and yours.) Cats and dogs urge to procreate is biological. Pregnancy and raising a litter are extremely hard on their bodies even with help form humans. It shortens their lifespan. From a psychological viewpoint, she will not miss it if she never has kittens and you have the knowledge that you aren't contributing to the over abundance of cats being put in animal shelters.

    She sounds like she is going into heat. Unlike a dog, a cat usually stays in season until she gets bred. If that doesn't happen, she will go out for a week or so and then start back up again.

    I suspect that having a cat in the house while she is in heat is what gets most of them into the vet for spaying.
