Cats are also mammals, and they mate instinctively to breed offspring. So many people probably don’t know about the “sex” knowledge of cats. Pet owners don’t need to feel shy. Learn more about it will be helpful to cats’ health.
How to distinguish the gender of male and female cats?
The scrotum of a male cat is composed of two testicles, shaped like ":", and the urethra opening is far away from the cat's anus.
The genital structure of the female cat is only anal and urethra/vulva, which looks like an upside down "!", and the urethra opening is closer to the cat's anus.
After 6 months, the balls will not move again.
When a male cat is born, the balls are in the abdominal cavity, so it is generally difficult to distinguish the gender of the kitten, and male cats are often regarded as female cats. But after 6 months, the balls will no longer move, and the groin ring will close, and the testicles will no longer move into the abdominal cavity. The gender of the male cat is also easier to recognize.
There are bones on the tines of male cats.
The male cat's dicks only move forward when they get an erection, so when they go to the toilet, their urine will only ejaculate backward. Their tin is very short, about 2 cm in length, but there is a bone in it.
The barb on the tin will disappear after the male cat is sterilized.
There is keratin tissue on the tines of male cats, just like barbs. When mating with a female cat, it can stimulate the female cat to ovulate and increase the possibility of the female cat getting pregnant. However, the barbs on the male cat after sterilization will also disappear.
female cats have no menstrual period.
Female cats will ovulate only when mating and are stimulated by male barbs. If it is not fertilized, the egg will not "flake" or bleeding, so the female cat does not have "aunt".
Female cats can have multiple male cats in one child.
We will find that the baby born to female cats have different fur colors, and it is very likely that they were not done by one father. When female cats are in heat, they will mate with multiple male cats, so the kittens born have their own fathers.
Female cats can give birth to 2 to 3 litters a year.
After the female cat gave birth to a baby, they will return to estrus around 1-6 weeks and then continue to conceive. female cats can give birth to 2 to 3 litters a year, and each litter can have 3 to 6 litters. However, overbreeding is a great harm to the health of the female cat.
So it is recommended to take cats to sterilize for age. Whether it is a male or female cat, breeding too many kittens and cannot afford them, which will only cause more stray cats.
Things to note after cat sterilization:
① Wear a collar to prevent cats from licking their wounds.
②Don’t bathe the cat, nor do you take the cat out.
③ Soothe the cat's emotions. You can use some snacks to reward the cat to get out of the depression.
④ Cats after sterilization have a bad appetite. Pay attention to a light diet and do not give them too greasy food. It is best to replace the staple cat food with light and non-greasy food, which will help protect the health of the cat.
