She is in estrus (heat). This is the time when she is receptive to male cats and can get pregnant. If she escapes outside she will get pregnant. Cats are extremely efficient breeders, that is why there is a cat over-population. If you don't plan on breeding her and don't want to deal with this behavior, I encourage you to have her spayed.

Is your cat showing any signs of bleeding from the vulva? That goes with the hormones.
Did you ask over on the cat forum? The Savas are very knowledgeable about cats. Obviously if your cat is slowing down, having eating or bathroom problems or shows any physical symptoms (bloating, limping, drooling, whatever) she should get to the vet for a good checkup. I hope it's just hormonal and she settles down in a few more days.
