There could be a few possible reasons for people saying that. It could be that those people are confusing cats with dogs. Bitches come into heat once every six months. And when they do, it gets a bit messy.
Tabbies, on the other hand, are receptive almost all the time. I have kept many tabbies and have never seen any sign of messiness.
Another possibility is that those people are confusing cats with people. They know that women menstruate and they assume that cats also do the same thing. They might have reasoned that if cats don't menstruate, cats cannot get pregnant and since cats do get pregnant, they assume that cats must menstruate.
